Liverpool L1 0BS Show me
Constellations & The Observatory is an award winning, independently-minded event space in the heart of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle. The space, a regenerated warehouse and recycling yard, is home to everything from live music to conferences and creative experiences. A place to experience, discover, relax and escape awhile under the sun and stars. All thoughtfully designed and curated for like-minded people who share an interest in our great city's rich arts, culture, business and music scenes.
Constellations brings people together, priding itself on diversity - From late night parties to contemporary music events, from art exhibitions & markets to conferences & seminars. During the day; this is a place to enjoy fresh, fuss free brunch, catch up with friends, escape the office or simply take time to soak up the sun. As dusk falls, the space is illuminated with events, stories, music and possibilities.
If you're popping in for a quick stop off then treat yourself to a freshly roasted coffee, loose leaf tea and a selection of homebaked cakes. Keep an eye out for special offers and pop-up food & drink events.
The venue comprises of two unique spaces. The first, a 4,500 square foot Garden and Outdoor Bar, built inside a disused industrial recycling yard. Having won a national design award for woodwork back in 2015, the bar's handmade oak canopy is an immediate draw with its geometric design providing a striking backdrop. Having featured in publications such as The Times, this structure has become an iconic go-to within The Baltic Triangle. If you have travelled to Budapest, Amsterdam or south New Zealand, you will notice the parallelism in design, the DIY ethic and laid back atmosphere that has influenced this urban retreat.
