An Iconic Opportunity for an Iconic Brand
We are seeking operating partners to reimagine a landmark in one of Europe’s fastest growing cities.
St Johns Beacon is one of the most recognisable structures in Liverpool. Visible from across the city and far beyond its centre, it occupies a rare position in the urban landscape: instantly identifiable, centrally located, and permanently elevated above the everyday.
At a moment when Liverpool’s visitor economy, cultural confidence and commercial ambition are all accelerating, the Beacon presents a unique proposition.

The Opportunity
From concept to operation, we are looking to work with the best to bring a significant destination to the region and add to the exciting momentum growing in Liverpool.
We will consider a range of frameworks to bring the new vision to life; our priority is to identify the most suitable partner(s) to work alongside to deliver the spectacular.
“Its space-age design embodies the spirit of the space age and is a physical expression of popular culture at the time, representing a bold and optimistic 1960s vision of the future.”

Who is this opportunity for?
World-class attraction operators
New wave restauranteurs
Specialist hospitality and experience providers
Best-in-class events and conference organisers
For decades, the space at the summit of the Beacon has played a defining role in the city’s cultural life; the home of a much-loved radio station, hosting unique events and offering a bird’s eye 360 view in its viewing gallery.
Opportunities of this scale, visibility and symbolic weight do not come to market often, and when they do, they demand imagination, confidence and vision. As a result, we are looking for bold and ambitious operating partners to reimagine this legacy asset.
