Party Venues Hire Guide

Planning a private party in Liverpool, but still not sure what to consider? Whether you’re organising your work colleague’s 30th birthday dinner, a huge Asian wedding for hundreds of guests, or a crazy girls night out we’re more than happy to help you out. There are some things you might want to keep in mind:

• If possible, book early – Some of the most popular private party venues in Liverpool need to be booked months in advance. It’s better not to leave it last minute. If you do find yourself short on time, don’t fret. We know Liverpool venues really well, so we will be able to help you find a great venue! If you are looking for a top-rated small party venue that’s bound to be booked quickly during the festive season or summer months, make sure you book it fast! The same goes for large party venues.

• Check the restrictions – If you plan to play very loud music or party till the sun rises, make sure the party venue rules allow the activities you have in mind.

• Ask about catering options – Many great party spaces in Liverpool are very proud of their in-house catering offers, but if you’d like to go for BYO, don’t forget to ask the venue manager if they’re OK with that.

Where can I book a great party venue in Liverpool?

For a casual night, head over to the Baltic Triangle. It’s the city’s most popular area for partying with its wide range of quirky party spaces, warehouse clubs, breweries, bars and restaurants. It's also very close to the waterfront so you'll get some great views if you're having an event at an outdoor party space. If you’re looking for something more unusual, Ropewalks will charm you with bohemian vibes, well-dressed people and a diverse list of bars, clubs and eateries. Concert Square and Docklands should be your number-one spots if you’re looking for something more than a casual drink - the stellar clubs there will make you keep dancing until sunrise

How early should I book a venue for my party in Liverpool?

It’s best to start looking for a party venue as soon as the idea pops into your head. You shouldn’t linger too long and should start your search around 8 weeks before the party.
