Recording Spaces
Hire the Friary
Liverpool Philharmonic at the Friary, a converted church in Everton, is the perfect recording and rehearsal venue for ensembles and artists of all varieties. The space is a home to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, plus our Youth Company ensembles – and major labels including EMI Classics, Decca and AVIE have recorded there too.
There’s an acoustically treated main space, plenty of breakout rooms, a control room and dressing rooms – and it’s all super flexible, so whatever you need, we’ll try to make it work.
