LEAF Bold Street has closed its doors for the final time. It marked a fond and very emotional farewell for a true Liverpool institution, a cultural hub, creative sanctuary and gathering place where countless communities have bloomed over millions of cups of loose-leaf tea during 15 wonderful years.
This week, the LEAF Bold Street team are now preparing for their Farewell Flea Market sale of stock and equipment – the perfect opportunity to take a memento or memory home for good. It takes place on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th September, from midday – 3pm.
Natalie Haywood, who co-founded LEAF with her brother Graham, says: “Now the doors on LEAF on Bold Street have closed, we’ve got our flea market sale of stock and equipment this week. So for anyone wanting to take a piece of LEAF home, this is the time to do it, where everything is up for grabs. We know many customers have got such great memories from the venue and I’m sure there will be plenty of personal and unique memories inside the walls. The team will be ready to welcome visitors this week to the flea market. We’ve been truly humbled by all of the lovely and supportive comments, whilst celebrating and reminiscing all things LEAF Bold Street with our customers in the buildup to closing on Sunday, along with the brilliant events too. We’re all looking forward to the next chapter with the rest of our venues in Liverpool.”
65 – 67 Bold Street is where the LEAF story began and its legacy will live on in the city at LEAF Smithdown Road, Little LEAF, One Fine Day, and OH ME OH MY. LEAF Bold Street will be fondly remembered as one of Liverpool’s hospitality originators – a trailblazer that did things differently. With a punk-tea shop ethos, siblings Natalie and Graham reimagined the humble cuppa, creating a destination that became treasured across the city and beyond from 2010 to 2025.
