A group of entrepreneurs from Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle are clubbing together to open one of the only indoor caravan parks in Britain.
Camp and Furnace is the brain child of architect Miles Falkingham and designers Simon Rhodes, Tim Speed and Paul Speed, with backing from James Moore.
The local businessmen had the idea of recreating a festival experience in a small indoor space. So they decided to reopen three former A Foundation buildings as an event space with a caravan park set to be opened in the near future.
With the grand opening taking place at the beginning of this month, the space has been designed to give guests and visitors the feeling of being transported from their city centre surroundings into the great outdoors.
Mr Falkingham, director at Camp and Furnace, explained: “We’d all enjoyed a decade or so of going to festivals and wondered what it would look like, if we took all of the best bits and brought them together under one roof.”
A number of events have already been lined up for the space, including the Liverpool Art Fair, The Art Show S/S12 and the Threshold Music Festival.
