A huge brand-new padel centre with championship-le A huge brand-new padel centre with championship-level indoor and outdoor courts will open this December in Speke. 

Ignite Padel's latest facility will feature six indoor courts, four outdoor covered courts, a licensed bar, a coffee shop, and a retail store where players can shop for racquets, balls, and clothing.

Stephen Broad, partner at Ignite Padel, says: “We have imported all the courts from Spain and they are championship standard quality and LTA approved, meaning they meet the standards set by the Lawn Tennis Association. 

"It’s not just about being able to play in all weathers, the indoor game tends to attract more elite players because it is seen as a more pure form. 

"It is a different experience to playing outdoors because there’s no wind so you get a truer trajectory on the ball.”

Ignite Padel Speke will be the company’s third site, with plans to open a total of five across the North West within 12 months.
Independent pasta restaurant @pastacosa officially Independent pasta restaurant @pastacosa officially launched @thealbertdock today (24 October), marking the second site for sisters and co-founders, Kayleigh and Talia Baccino, following the success of their original Castle Street location.

Located on the inner quay, just a few doors down from the sisters’ café, @franciesfocaccia, the restaurant is larger than its Castle Street counterpart, seating around 24 guests inside with space for a further 16 on The Colonnades.

Kayleigh says: “The opportunity to open our second Pasta Cosa site in such a vibrant and historic location is a dream come true. 

"The dock is a fantastic place with a real community feel, and we can’t wait to welcome both familiar faces and new customers to our new restaurant. 

"Our goal is simple, to share our love of fresh, authentic Italian pasta in a place where everyone feels at home."

A new name for the live music venue at Heebies will be announced soon. Meanwhile, the Zanzibar itself will be refurbished, with more details coming in the very near future.

This month, we’re excited to share our chat with Liverpool’s very own 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 sensation and stand-up star, 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐜𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 💃🎤

The last time we caught up with Chris was back in 2022, and it’s safe to say he’s been pretty busy since - starring in a Christmas film for Sky, hosting his own Saturday morning chat show, and, of course, winning the nation’s most famous dance competition.

With his new autobiography, 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘓𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, now on shelves, it felt like the perfect time to sit down and discuss a whirlwind few years - and how his ballroom success gave him the confidence to approach the book with honesty and vulnerability, not just humour.
