Plans to transform a warehouse in Cains Brewery Vi Plans to transform a warehouse in Cains Brewery Village into an “experiential, competitive socialising venue” have been unveiled.

Goose Piper Ltd has submitted a planning application to Liverpool City Council seeking permission to change the use of the Northern Lights Building on Mann Street into a leisure-led attraction called Benchwarmers.

The proposed venue would combine retro-inspired design with technology-driven games and activities.

A statement submitted as part of the application says: “At its core, Benchwarmers is about ‘Games for the People’.

“We are launching an experiential, competitive socialising venue that uses high technology not to isolate us, but to bring families and friends together in a shared, joyful, and accessible experience.”

The applicant says the venue would take inspiration from the atmosphere of 1970s and 1980s sports arenas, while retaining elements of the building’s industrial character.
