Liverpool gym site may become baking event venue

A former gym in Liverpool's business district, which has been empty for five years, may soon be transformed into a venue for baking events. The gym closed after its parent company, Signature Living, went into administration in 2020. The London-based company, The Big Bakes, has applied for a license to operate The Big Liverpool Bake at the site. They plan to host bake-off-style events with cooking stations for group bookings. The gym was part of a larger development that aimed to revitalize the area. The city council will decide on the licensing application in the coming months.
