Amenities
Summary
A historic community centre in Liverpool with a Heritage Centre room holding 30 guests. Explicitly marketed as a film location alongside corporate use. Victorian-era building with period fabric intact.
About this location
The Florrie — formally the Florence Institute — is a Grade II* listed Victorian building in Liverpool’s south end, originally built in the 1880s as a boys’ club. The Heritage Centre room is a 30-person space that the venue actively markets as a film location, which removes the ambiguity you sometimes get with community halls. The Victorian building fabric is the draw here: original architectural details, period-appropriate proportions, and the kind of worn-in character that production designers spend considerable budget trying to replicate on set. At £105 per session this is accessible for indie crews who need a specific period feel for interiors. The building has a wider programme of event spaces for productions needing multiple rooms in a single day.
