BOXPARK Liverpool coming late 2023 as planning permission approved

Award-winning dining, retail and leisure operator BOXPARK has received approval on planning permission for a brand-new venue in Liverpool, which will open later this year.

BOXPARK Liverpool has agreed a 15-year lease with Cains Brewery Village for the site, located within the city’s booming Baltic Triangle.

The venue will be transformed into a stunning food hall and events destination featuring a large internal space with units set over the ground floor, a small internal mezzanine, and an external terrace.

The group is investing more than £3.5m into the Baltic Triangle and is expected to bring 150 new jobs to the local community. On top of this, the scheme will also drive a significant volume of footfall to the area, with over a million people expected to visit each year*.

Spanning 21,000 sq. ft and holding 400 internal covers plus 200 external covers BOXPARK Liverpool will include 10 kitchen units, three internal bars with additional external bars. There will also be a 5,430 sq. ft external garden to offer al fresco dining and intimate events.

The site will be the first of its kind outside of London adding to the three current sites in Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley.

BOXPARK CEO Simon Champion, comments on the planning permission announcement:

“We are delighted to receive the news today that BOXPARK Liverpool has planning approval as our team has put a lot of work into bringing the Canning Hall at Cains Brewery back to life.
