Boxpark gets green light for first Liverpool outpost

First announced back in September​​ last year, Boxpark has agreed a 15-year lease with Cains Brewery Village for the site, located within the city’s Baltic Triangle.

Spanning 21,000sq 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 5,430sq ft external garden to offer al fresco dining.

It will be the first Boxpark-branded development outside of the capital, joining its Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley locations.

“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,” says Simon Champion, Boxpark CEO.

“We're very excited to bring jobs, and a lot of fun, to the Baltic Triangle which we see as an area with great prospects over the next few years.

Boxpark is investing more than £3.5m into the Baltic Triangle and is expected to bring 150 new jobs to the local community through the opening.

“The arrival of Boxpark Liverpool will provide a welcome boost to the leisure offer in the Baltic district,” says Sarah Doyle, assistant mayor and cabinet member for development and economy on Liverpool City Council.

“The development is a significant investment creating a considerable number of jobs and now they have planning permission, I look forward to their opening.”

This year is shaping up to be a big one for the Boxpark group. As well as opening the Liverpool site, it is also about to start rolling out its sibling Boxhall concept with sites opening in Bristol and Liverpool Street in 2023.
