We’re absolutely gutted by what has happened. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the Roof Garden will remain closed for the rest of 2026 while we rebuild. Please read the full update below, and thank you for all your patience, understanding and support.
‼️ STATEMENT FROM BLACKSTOCK MARKET
We are absolutely devastated to confirm that there was a fire on our roof at the Blackstock Roof Garden in the early hours of Monday morning.
Thanks to the fast response of our staff and Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service, we can confirm that, most importantly, no one was injured. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
The Blackstock Roof Garden will remain closed for the remainder of 2026 whilst we rebuild. All customers affected by Roof Garden cancellations have now been contacted, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the late notice. We understand that some customers have large bookings, and we will do everything we can to accommodate these elsewhere within the venue where a suitable alternative is available.
The theatre on the mezzanine level directly below the Roof Garden was also affected. We hope to have it back up and running as soon as possible, but no shows in that particular space have been cancelled at this stage.
Blackstock Market has multiple theatres, and shows taking place in our other theatre spaces will go ahead as normal. If any booking is affected, we will contact those customers directly. If you do need to message us, please allow our team a reasonable amount of time to respond while we deal with the situation.
The remainder of Blackstock Market was unaffected and remains open as normal.
We’ve faced many obstacles throughout our 17-year history, and this is another huge setback - but one we will overcome.
The best way our community can support us right now is simply by continuing to visit, attend shows and support us. Your patience, understanding and continued support mean more to us than ever.
