New food and drink market announces six opening vendors

Liverpool's latest food and drink market has announced six of its opening traders, which include some already well-known names.

Blackstock Market is expected to be opened in January 2024, by the brothers behind the Hot Water Comedy Club. Self-described as 'venue like no other', the 60,000sq ft site will be home to the much-loved comedy club as well as some of the city's top food and drink vendors.

Planning permission was granted last year, to turn the disused warehouse on Blackstock Street into one of Merseyside's hottest new venues, and after much anticipation surrounding the project, it now finally looks set to open.

• KO Grill will serve Indian and Pakistani cuisine.
• Desserts by Dre, a Penny Lane favourite, will bring its sweet treats to the city centre.
• Laros, which has a site on Bold Street, offers authentic Greek food, including loaded fries and gyros.
