The Hartley offers private hire at Atlantic Pavilion on the Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool, from autumn/winter 2026: the downstairs vault for smaller groups or the full venue on exclusive use. Rather than a hire fee, we agree a minimum spend and everything your guests eat and drink counts towards it. Corporate mornings, team socials and evening receptions all work, and enquiries are open now.
The downstairs vault suits drinks and dinners with its own bar corner and brick arches. The full venue gives you the room, the courtyard and the run of the place, dressed and lit for your night.
Celebrating rather than convening? Birthdays and hen dos live on the parties page, and wedding receptions have a page of their own.
