With most private screenings now sold out in the city, Eurovision fans have been left scrambling for a chance to witness the grand finale of Eurovision 2023.
Thanks to the proprietors of a little-known and highly exclusive private members club in Liverpool city centre – their luck has just changed.
The Athenaeum Club, has revealed a last-minute programme of Eurovision-themed events – including an unforgettable opportunity to secure a guaranteed seat, prime viewing spot, and unparalleled luxury at their ‘luxurious’ live screening event on 13th May – the Eurovision 2023 Finale.
With only a limited number of tickets available, this event is expected to sell out fast.
In addition, the proprietors will be welcoming tourists and locals alike for a number of other exclusive opportunities such as a boozy club brunch, tours of the historic institution, a dinner in their fine dining restaurant that celebrates Liverpool’s fantastic food and dining culture, and afternoon tea in their historic newsroom.
The club, which is Liverpool’s most exclusive venue, and little known about among locals, promises a taste of luxury with guaranteed seats, unrivalled service – without the queuing, and an escape from the crowds, despite being minutes away from the bustling crowds of the Eurovision Village offering guests the chance to enjoy the best of both experiences.
Located next to Primark, tucked behind some grand double doors, The Athenaeum is a hidden gem that rarely opens its doors to the public, making it a once in a lifetime occasion for those lucky enough to get their hands on a ticket.
Guests attending the live screening will share the spacious but intimate experience with esteemed club proprietors, offering a luxurious but warm and welcoming atmosphere.
“We are thrilled to be hosting a programme of Eurovision events for the public, offering guaranteed seating and a unique experience away from the crowds,” said Rob Huxley, President of The Athenaeum. “The Athenaeum’s unique fusion of history and culture offers the perfect ambience for this iconic event, and I speak for all proprietors when I say that we are very much looking forward to welcoming our guests into the club. We are expecting tickets to sell out fast, so grab them while you can, as we are all very much looking forward to meeting both locals and tourists alike on this momentous occasion for our city.”
