THE CITY ATTRACTION IS CURRENTLY HAVING "ESSENTIAL WORKS" CARRIED OUT 11:35, 03 Jun 2025 A Liverpool city centre attraction is currently closed to the public as temporary railings


are erected around the site. The Upside Down House at Liverpool ONE is having “essential works” carried out and will remain closed while these works continue. This morning, Tuesday, June 3,


the house’s red exterior had been removed and parts of the white slated roof were also missing. The unique attraction has been a firm fixture at the retail and leisure complex for more than


a year. Located just a short distance from Chavasse Park, the interactive photo experience is aimed at families, friends, and small groups. The two-storey attraction is designed to appear


upside down on its roof at a slight angle. There are 11 Upside Down Houses across England, but this is the only one in the North West. The first attraction was originally designed by a Swiss


company before being manufactured by a British firm. The company launched in November 2018. Since the success of the first house in Bournemouth, the business expanded to multiple locations


nationwide, and in other parts of the world, including France, Germany and Australia. Article continues below The ECHO previously reported that a planning application lodged with the local


authority could see the Upside Down House remain in the city centre for another 36 months. The site, subject to Liverpool Council approval, would operate from 10am to 9pm on Mondays to


Saturdays. Sundays and Bank Holidays would open an hour later at 10am. When it opened last year the interior was designed with an open plan layout, to allow customers to move around the


illusion experience and find multiple photo opportunities. The city's attraction featured new areas that had never been seen before in other Upside Down Houses across the country. A


design and access statement submitted to a previous application in 2024 said: “The Upside Down Houses strongly support the local economy and significantly boost tourist attractions for the


cities and towns they are in. Article continues below “The cultural attraction would, in that sense, complement Liverpool’s city and cultural centre. There are clear public benefits from the


siting of the Upside Down House and Spinning House. “It is a significant tourist attraction in its own right. Ensuring these visitors are taken into the heart of the Liverpool tourism area,


will lead to opportunities for spending at other attractions or spending in shops at Liverpool ONE and the Royal Albert Dock.”
