Circo closes its final curtain at Albert Dock

Circo has drawn its curtains on Liverpool’s Albert Dock for the final time following a closing party that saw the venue go out with a bang.

After delivering a duo of dinner shows, the iconic Circus inspired venue put on a show-stopping finale to coincide with its ninth birthday, which welcomed the return of legendry local DJ Lee Butler and ‘Brothers and Sisters’ artist 2 Funky 2.

The reminiscent closing party took place ahead of the unveiling of Circo’s novel pop-up concept, set to operate at Hangar 34 throughout November and December.

Owner of Circo Jason McNeill said: “Our closing party was certainly a fantastic way to end our nine-year stint at Albert Dock with a bang. It was wonderful to welcome so many guests who have enjoyed Circo throughout the years, have shared many memories within our walls and wanted to say until next time in true circus style.

“Ahead of the next chapter of our journey, we raised a toast to the future of our much-loved concept with the forthcoming unveiling of our pop-up venue in the city’s Baltic Triangle, which will be entertaining and delivering the Circo magic throughout November and December. Seasoned lovers of the Circo brand need not worry, as the site will remain similar to our original concept by continuing to play host to our famous circus shows and house many of our much loved features.“

Following the site’s closure on Albert Dock, the pop-up venue will reside in Liverpool’s hottest new music venue Hangar 34 throughout the remaining weeks of 2016. The unique circus concept will permanently move to its new 7,000 sq. ft. Ropewalks location on Seel Street in early 2017.

Jason added: “With our nine-year birthday celebrations well underway, there’s no better time for us to pack up our cast and trunks and prepare for the next generation of Circo. We’re looking forward to celebrating the festive season in the city’s new music hotspot, Hangar 34.

“Last minute party planners are certainly in luck, as our temporary relocation now means that there is select availability for Christmas dinner show parties with a twist.“
