A new £10m go-karting and entertainment venue in a former Liverpool ONE department store will now open in the New Year.
In February, the shopping complex’s co-owner Grosvenor won planning permission from Liverpool Council to develop an indoor electric go-kart circuit and leisure facilities in the upper levels of the former Debenhams unit, vacated by the collapsed department store last year. It had been expected that Gravity Activity Entertainment, operators of the new venture, would open its doors to paying customers by the end of the year.
However, it is anticipated that work on converting the former department chain location will not complete until 2023 and as a result, will push back the originally proposed opening date. Announcing Gravity as the operator of the new facility, Grosvenor said in April it had hoped the leisure attraction, which could include bowling and an indoor golf centre alongside the go-kart track, would seek to open in the last three months of 2022.
