YOU’RE ONE OF US HERE. Liverpool is famous for its welcome. Whether that’s sharing our favourite independent restaurants, shops and pubs, the connectivity and walkability of our European-feeling city or how we adopt new people and ideas. It’s about sharing the best of who we are, and inviting you to be a part of it. No matter if you’re an old friend or a new face - while you’re here, you’re one of us.
WHOLE WORLDS ARE FOUND HERE. We’re a powerful backdrop for the world’s stories. Come here to be Liverpool (of course) or London, New York, Moscow, or Madrid in the past, present or even future. With our dramatic docklands, forests, beaches and 1,000 years of history, our city region is coveted for its versatile, accessible settings.
THINGS GET DONE HERE. Not only do we inspire productions, we support them. In us you’ll find a responsive and resourceful partner who just gets what it takes to make a production a success. We know our stuff and can deal with all sorts of production demands. Like the time we shut down a Mersey tunnel for an evening. Easy.
