The Venue: Invisible Wind Factory

Invisible Wind Factory occupies a former industrial site in Liverpool’s Ten Streets district, north of the city centre.

• The venue’s warehouse architecture provides a dramatic backdrop for large-scale fashion, dance and performance productions.
• Its expansive event space accommodates a central performance area, audience viewing and elaborate lighting installations.
• The industrial setting gives the ball a distinctly Liverpool character, contrasting raw warehouse interiors with theatrical costumes and runway production.
• The venue is approximately a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre, depending on traffic.
• Plan your return journey in advance, particularly if you intend to continue partying after the show.

Before the Ball

Liverpool’s gay quarter around Stanley Street and Victoria Street is a good starting point for drinks before heading to the venue.

• The Lisbon – Traditional Liverpool gay pub on Victoria Street, known for its ornate Victorian interior and welcoming atmosphere.
• The Masquerade – A long-running gay bar on Cumberland Street, popular for drinks, music and a sociable pre-party crowd.
• GBar Liverpool – On Eberle Street, a well-known destination for Liverpool’s late-night gay club scene.

Allow enough time to reach Invisible Wind Factory before the 8 pm last-entry deadline.

Where to Stay

Stay around Liverpool’s commercial district or waterfront for convenient access to the Ten Streets venue, or choose Ropewalks and Liverpool ONE for restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

• Titanic Hotel Liverpool – Our first choice for the ball. A striking converted Victorian warehouse at Stanley Dock, with exceptionally spacious rooms, exposed brickwork, a destination spa and an atmospheric rum bar. Particularly convenient for the venue.
• INNSiDE by Meliá Liverpool – Contemporary rooms with impressive city and river views, a stylish restaurant and an 18th-floor rooftop bar. A good option for cocktails before the event and easy access to the gay quarter.
• The Resident Liverpool – A highly regarded boutique hotel in Ropewalks, housed in a converted industrial building. Smart rooms feature compact kitchenettes, making it ideal for a longer weekend exploring Liverpool’s bars and restaurants.
• School Lane Hotel in Liverpool ONE – An independent, design-led hotel with polished contemporary rooms and a central location near shopping, dining and nightlife. An excellent choice for visitors who prefer a quieter hotel without sacrificing convenience.

Getting to the Ball

• From Liverpool Lime Street Station, take a taxi to Invisible Wind Factory. Allow approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic.
• From the Stanley Street gay quarter, a taxi is the simplest option, particularly when dressed for the ball.
• The venue is in the Ten Streets district, an industrial area with fewer late-night transport options than the city centre.
• Arrange a taxi or rideshare after the event rather than relying on finding one immediately outside.

About House of Suarez

• Founded in 2006, House of Suarez helped establish Liverpool as an important centre for ballroom culture in northern England.
• Its first production, Liverpool is Burning: The Grand Vogue Ball, took place at the Adelphi Hotel in partnership with Homotopia. Since then, the organisation has developed a distinctive series of themed balls combining the traditions of New York ballroom with Liverpool’s queer creative community.
