Baby Shower Venue in Liverpool
A memorable baby shower calls for an extraordinary venue. With two floors of versatile and flexible spaces, we welcome hundreds of baby showers every year, captivating your guests with our location, magnificent original dock features, unique heritage, and flawless service.
Our venue is well suited to baby showers of all sizes. You do not need to hire the entire venue. We can section off a comfortable area for a smaller gathering, or open up a full floor for a larger celebration. Sunday to Thursday, smaller bookings often come with no minimum spend, so planning a mid-week baby shower can be very affordable.
Setting Up Your Baby Shower
You are welcome to come in before your event to decorate the space however you like. Our bar and ceiling lighting can be changed to millions of colours to match your baby shower theme. Use our 11 x 4K screens and projector to display photos, games, or anything else you have planned. The screens are a great way to make the event feel personal and fun.
If you want background music, our sound system is available for playlists or a live performer. We can work with you to make sure the atmosphere is exactly right for your celebration.

Weekends
Minimum Spend = the total amount you and your guests must spend on the occasion - this is made up of all drink & food spend.
Firstly, you are not required to hire the entire venue. Our venue can be sectioned into floors and sections to suit group size. We usually don't charge a venue hire cost - we agree on a minimum spend for food and drink by yourself and guests (this is always achievable!). We can offer a fixed fee hire too. Get in touch, and we will create a package that serves your requirements and your pocket!
