A new pop-up store is launching inside Metquarter this Autumn

This Autumn, Metquarter will welcome a new pop-up store to the centre as its newest retail offering.

It will be a joint venture between ReNew Furniture Homeware Décor, offering upcycled and vintage furniture and home décor, and Childwall Emporium, an independent arts and crafts workshop in Liverpool hosting a variety of different classes, parties, and workshops.

The ReNew PopUp is set to open its doors to the public on the ground floor of the centre from Saturday 4th October where customers will be able to browse unique home interiors and attend a series of workshops.

ReNew Furniture Homeware Décor will stock a collection of upcycled and vintage furniture as well as home decor from other indie businesses. Customers will be able to browse a selection of unique pieces to refresh their home or find a special Christmas gift for any homeware lovers.

Childwall Emporium will also host a series of independent arts and crafts workshops in the space throughout autumn and winter, ideal for those wanting to get creative and learn a new skill. 

Paint and Sip

Commencing in October, Childwall Emporium will host a series of highly popular Paint and Sip nights which will take place within the centre’s food court, Victoria Street Collective. The first in the Paint and Sip series will be on Friday 24^th October with a Liver Bird theme to honour the city’s official symbol. On Saturday 13^th December, there will be a Christmas themed Paint and Sip evening for guests to get into the festive spirit.

Suitable for all levels, from complete beginners right up to experts, each participant will be provided with their own pre-drawn canvas, and all the paint and materials needed to complete their artwork. Experienced artists will guide attendees through the process, giving hints and tips throughout the night. Throughout the night food and drink can be ordered from any of the Victoria Street Collective restaurants and bars, the perfect accompaniment to a night of painting.

Tickets for both workshops can be booked here and are priced at £30 pp. 

Lampshade Making

For those eager to explore their creativity, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to design and craft a bespoke lampshade from scratch. Taking place on Sunday 26^th October at the ReNew PopUp, participants will be able to make a lampshade to match their soft furnishings or create something unique for their room in this relaxed lampshade making class, introducing the simple techniques and tools required to make a 20cm drum lampshade.

The workshop is a comfortable pace and is welcome to all skill levels. All materials are provided but attendees may wish to bring their own fabric if they want to create a custom piece.

Tickets for the workshop can be booked here and are priced at £40 pp.
