Scale is a rare jewel of a warehouse venue located in the centre of Liverpool, a 3500 sqft location studio for photography and filming, and events and weddings with a difference. Located on the top floor of the Tapestry building, in the up-and-coming Fabric District, a creative hub just a stones' throw away from the city centre, it's surrounded by incredible street art and neighbouring independents.

The tall ceiling features industrial A-frame beams with hanging festoon
lighting and the perfect opportunity to drape flowers. Meanwhile reclaimed maple flooring and exposed brickwork not only offer modern and stylish wedding photography, but the ideal blank canvas to style as you wish.

The venue is officialy licensed to hold legal civil partnerships and civil
marriage ceremonies, however a celebrant led service can still be offered as a beautiful addition to the day.

Here, you can host up to 160 standing, while a maximum of 120 is recommended for seated events. It's fully accessible with a newly fitted lift and accessible bathrooms.

Scale is filled with rustic charm boasting heaps of space in the main function room complete with a mezzanine - a VIP area or a place to step away.

Scale works closely with its preferred catering partner, Fig and the Wild, which can cater to all needs for shoots! All you need to do is let us know and we'll point you in the right direction.

We are 10-min walk from Liverpool Lime Street station, 15-min drive to the M6 and a 30-min drive from Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
