Liverpool ONE grows competitive socialising offer with Escape Live

Grosvenor Britain & Ireland has announced that innovative leisure brand, Escape Live, has selected Liverpool ONE for its debut venue in the North West.

Due to open in summer 2021, the 8,800 sq ft Liverpool ONE location will offer six escape rooms including the brand’s official Peaky Blinders immersive experience, based on the popular BBC television series. Specially designed for groups, the 60-minute escape rooms will be accompanied by a virtual reality arena, a private room for bookings of up to 40 people, and a roof top terrace bar.

Escape Live’s interactive ‘against-the-clock’ concept is the latest addition to Liverpool ONE’s competitive socialising offer, which also includes Junkyard Golf, Roxy Ball Room and On the Green. The destination’s combination of experience-led operators, prominent F&B brands, and prime city centre location continue to boost Liverpool ONE’s overall visitor footfall and dwell time.

Alison Clegg, Managing Director, Asset Management, Grosvenor Britain & Ireland commented: “Competitive socialising continues to be an exciting growth area, with consumers keen to spend more on experiences. Liverpool ONE is in a great position to be able to diversify with new concepts and formats to effectively meet this demand. We look forward to welcoming Escape Live to Liverpool ONE this summer, complementing our wider leisure and dining line-up.”

Jas Sodhi, Managing Director at Escape Live, added: “Escape Live has proven to be a great success to date, and we are thrilled to have secured our first site in the North West. When considering our expansion plans, Liverpool ONE was the ideal choice for its unbeatable inner-city location and dedication to experience-led ventures.”

The news of Escape Live follows Liverpool ONE’s series of recent retail announcements, with New Look, Kenji and Skechers all recommitting to the destination with store signings on South John Street.

Metis acted for Liverpool ONE in the deal, while Kelion Sworn represented Escape Live.
