Bluecoat

Bluecoat is Liverpool’s centre for the contemporary arts, situated in the heart of the city in Liverpool’s oldest building, dating from 1717. A year-round programme of exhibitions, arts events and workshops and our delightful cafe, bistro and garden make us the perfect escape from the busy Liverpool ONE and Church Street shopping areas.

Whether you are interested in our contemporary galleries, the heritage of the building, an independent shopping experience or free family activities there is always plenty to do. And you can relax and enjoy great food and drink, either inside or in the garden.

Families are very welcome at Bluecoat. Our outdoor spaces, gallery activities, children’s menu and accessible facilities make us an ideal place to bring children of all ages.

Eat, drink & relax

Visit the bistro and bar, situated in the elegant surroundings of the former concert hall, where locally sourced, seasonal food and drinks can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere.
