Circo has drawn its curtains at the Albert Dock for the final time following a last night that went out with a bang.
After delivering a duo of dinner shows, the iconic Liverpool venue pulled out all the stops for a finale to coincide with its ninth birthday.
Legendary local DJ Lee Butler and ‘Brothers and Sisters’ artist 2 Funky 2 performed at the closing party ahead of Circo’s novel pop-up concept unveiling.
Throughout November and December, the concept is set to operate at Hangar 34 in the city’s centre’s Baltic Triangle.
Jason McNeill, owner of Circo, 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.
“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.”
