Boxpark has introduced proposals for its sixth site and first Boxpark-branded development outside of London as it heads to Liverpool.
The retail, leisure and hospitality operator has agreed a 15-year lease with Terracotta Asset Management Limited for The Canning Hall site in the south of Liverpool city, which sits within the Baltic Triangle district, forming part of the Cains Brewery Village estate.
Set to open in late 2023, Boxpark Liverpool will be the first of its kind outside of London with three sites in Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley.

Built in the 1980’s, the tall portal frame warehouse building in Liverpool will be transformed into a food and entertainment destination, featuring a large internal space with units set over the ground floor, a small internal mezzanine, and an external terrace.
Formerly an old industrial zone, the area has established itself as a large and growing cluster of creative industries, offices, restaurants, bars and leisure units since the mid 2000’s.
Boxpark will offer approximately 10 units by independent food operators.
Spanning 16,000sq ft and holding 400 internal covers plus 200 external covers, the proposals for Boxpark Liverpool will include around 10 kitchen units, three internal bars with additional external bars.
In addition, there will be a 5,430sq ft external terrace to offer al fresco dining and intimate events.
“Our team have searched extensively for sites in Liverpool since 2016, having considered multiple locations across the city,” Boxpark CEO Simon Champion said.
“As a dynamic and fast-growing business, we hope Boxpark will be an exciting addition to Liverpool’s buzzing food and drink scene, offering an all-day food and entertainment destination.”
