Located on the ground floor, The Steps feature a layout that encourages engagement at every level.

Its tiered seating and open design invite visitors to gather naturally, creating a comfortable setting for relaxed team discussions, informal presentations and networking sessions. The space helps foster a close connection between speaker and audience, enhancing participation and communication.

At the top of the staircase, The Steps flow seamlessly into an adjoining exhibition space, forming a flexible area ideal for talks, displays and social interaction. The result is a multifunctional environment that brings people together in an open, inspiring atmosphere.

Next to The Steps lies The Base, our wellness café that helps people connect through fresh, natural food and drink.

Morning coffees, friendly conversations and collaborative lunch meetings all take place in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Nature-inspired interiors, featuring sustainable timber and biophilic design elements, combine with the aromas of freshly prepared dishes to create a calm and inviting space.

Together, The Steps and The Base embody our purpose at Spaces at The Spine – a Liverpool venue where people can connect, collaborate and belong. By nurturing community and wellbeing, we’re helping to build connections that grow stronger with every visit.
