Welcome to The Florrie

The Florence Institute Trust Ltd was founded by residents of Toxteth, Liverpool in Jan 2005. Set up after years of public support and drive, as the legal vehicle and accountable body to progress with the campaign to "save the Florrie". Download this years Annual Report.

After what has been a truly remarkable effort by all involved, finally the last piece of the funding jigsaw was secured, collectively totaling £6.3million, in May 2010. With no time to waste Stage 1 works commenced in June 10, with Stage 2 commencing late Jan 11. By Feb 2012, our beloved and superbly restored Florrie will once again be the heartbeat of South Liverpool.

This website will help you get the best out of The Florrie and ensure that the building is used. You can browse the list of building users, see the available facilities and take a look at what events we have coming up in the future.

For a limited time you will be able to see the restoration unfold, view a gallery of photos, get to know our board of trustees, catch up on the story so far and view a backlog of our Florrie newsletter.

Our Architects Purcell Miller Tritton have provided us with graphic representations of The Gym, Main Hall (for banquet and theatre), and heritage resource centre. You can download the pdf here.
