Liverpool Lighthouse

Based in the heart of Anfield, in the former Gaumont Palace Cinema, Liverpool Lighthouse is a fast emerging venue for Gospel Arts and entertainment events. The Lighthouse has a 430 ranked tiered seat auditorium and facilities and has a range of inclusion, educational, and diversionary projects that use arts and gospel music as a tool for engaging, developing and enhancing the skills of community members. Among others, Liverpool Lighthouse runs ESOL courses teaching English and ‘Harmonize’, the alternative education programme for 14 – 19 year olds. The Lighthouse has a restaurant, Bliss, which is really good. Behind the restaurant is the idea of community regeneration through business and skill building (volunteers from the community that wish to re-​enter the workforce help run the restaurant). The food is delicious and healthy.

I’m really surprised that somebody has said this place is good for watching fights as it’s owned by a church! i’ve been here a couple of times to watch children’s dancing shows and it’s ideal for that as it’s an old cinema so the stage is actually lower than the audience which makes it nnice and easy to see the children. it has disabled access with s lift but you would have to make sure you asked for seats on te middle row as otherwise you would still have steps to climb up or down to get to your seat. The changing faciliteies are not great, just little conference rooms. but the café is a nice place to get a coffee before you watch something. you have to park on the street and it’s not the best srea but my car has always been alright.

This is a really good place to come and watch a play, fight or a good meeting place. It is just down the road from Liverpool Fc stadium and is very well situated just off Oakfield Road, The sitting area inside is very spacious and clean and is easily able to stage plays, boxing fights and even general meetings. The parking facility is a bit dated with no parking area just a road to park on. The area is full of hoodies which makes you feel a little intimidated when you arrive. The lighthouse also has a café and bar as well as free wi-​fi connection. The café is open all day.
