Venue & accommodation

Liverpool

Liverpool city centre is a distinct mix of historic maritime heritage and modern urban development, structured around a network of characterful districts.

The waterfront area is defined by the iconic Royal Albert Dock and the Three Graces, including the Royal Liver Building, which open up directly into the commercial and retail hub of Liverpool ONE. Moving inland, the city transitions into unique quarters, from the independent shops and nightlife of the Ropewalks to the tech and creative hub within the Baltic Triangle, all bordered by the classic architecture of the Georgian Quarter.

Woven directly into the city is Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). Rather than operating as a traditional campus, LJMU is integrated into the city centre itself. The university is primarily situated across two main locations: the Mount Pleasant Campus, alongside the Georgian Quarter and the city's two cathedrals, and the City Campus, located within the historic St George’s Quarter. Because these academic buildings, libraries, and student spaces sit right alongside local businesses and landmarks, the university forms a core part of the city’s daily economic and cultural life, effectively making the city centre itself the campus.
