Hosted by National Museums Liverpool, a collection of eight museums and art galleries in Liverpool, has announced the launch of its two new events spaces in the World Museum.
The two event spaces include a 20-capacity boardroom and the Lower Horseshoe, an exhibition gallery space which spans 93 sqm.
The Lower Horseshoe can be used for private events ranging from conferences to weddings, with the capacity for up to 600 guests. The team has been granted use of the two spaces for a three-year period.
Katie Roberts, head of events, Hosted by National Museums Liverpool, said: “We are so excited to welcome two additional events spaces in one of our most popular venues, World Museum. Located in the heart of the city centre, it’s already home to some fantastic locations including the ground floor Sir Richard Foster Wing, a newly refurbished aquarium and a planetarium.
“The Museum itself is steeped in history, advancing and adapting over the years to become what it is today, particularly following its redevelopment after suffering a huge fire during World War II. For us to be able to open it up to delegates and guests as a place to enjoy events is a real privilege and showcases some of the incredible heritage that Liverpool has to offer.
“With bookings now being taken for the boardroom and Lower Horseshoe, this additional venue hire offer will contribute to Hosted by National Museums Liverpool’s existing portfolio of impressive events spaces spread across eight venues within the city and its surrounding areas.”
Roberts added: “Every year we reassess our venue hire offer in a bid to provide guests with something a little different, helping to raise our profile and become one of the country’s leading destinations for business tourism and hospitality.
“These two new spaces will allow us to host more events annually as part of World Museum’s next chapter, which is particularly important to us as any revenue generated goes back into National Museums Liverpool to support the amazing work that it does.
“It’s fantastic to be able to show these historic spaces in a different light, and a testament to the diversity of our museums and galleries.”
