Circus-themed bar and restaurant Circo is set to relocate to a new site on Seel Street.

Currently based at Albert Dock, where it has been located since 2007, Circo will open at the Brockbank and Mellor building early next year.

Curtains will close for the final time at the current venue on 5 November with inspiration for the new concept coming from other live performance nightlife hotspots from across Europe and Mexico, including Coco Bongo and Cirque De Soleil.

The new venue will feature dancers, trapeze acts, aerialists, acro artists and gymnastics, alongside trampoline and fire acts.

Jason McNeil, owner of Circo, says: “The dock has played home to Circo since 2007, but now it’s time for us to close the final curtain and move on.

“For us, there’s no better way to mark our ninth birthday, then to relocate to a new part of the city with an evolved concept that we believe doesn’t exist anywhere else in Liverpool.

“We have become famous for our dinner shows, which provide entertainment that really does push the boundaries and showcases some of the best talent around and we now want to take this successful model to the next level.”

The new space, which has a capacity of 250 seated and 900 standing, will be unveiled early next year and will feature two dinner shows a week at 7pm, with doors opening for a nightclub  at midnight.
