QUARRY, one of Liverpool’s most cherished independent music venues, has announced its impending closure at 17 Love Lane due to redevelopment plans.
The venue, a cornerstone of the city’s creative community since its opening in January 2020, is set to vacate its current premises by early 2025. However, the QUARRY team is determined to find a new home and has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help make this vision a reality.
The announcement follows the approval of plans to convert the venue’s current location into a luxury apartment complex. In a heartfelt statement, the team expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support they’ve received since breaking the news. “To see how many people have been impacted by our venue over the past five years has been both emotional and encouraging,” the statement reads.
The GoFundMe campaign aims to raise funds for:
- Legal fees
- Building materials
- Staff payment
The team is optimistic about the future, with plans underway to secure a new venue for a 2025 reopening. “QUARRY is much greater than its current premises,” they emphasized. “We will keep the community updated on this progress, but for now, we can say that it’s looking positive.”
Until their current location closes, QUARRY promises to continue hosting shows and is planning a series of farewell events in early 2025 to celebrate the venue’s legacy.
Supporters can contribute to the GoFundMe campaign here and follow QUARRY’s journey as they embark on this new chapter.
Since its opening, QUARRY has been a hub for Liverpool’s music scene, fostering a supportive space for artists and audiences alike. The venue’s vibrant events have drawn fans from across the city and beyond, making it a vital part of Liverpool’s cultural landscape.
Let’s come together to help QUARRY find its new home and continue its legacy as a beacon of creativity in Liverpool.
