Host to the opening ceremony of the Capital of Culture Year in January 2008, Echo Arena Liverpool will be the centre of entertainment for concert goers and sports enthusiasts across the North West and North Wales. Situated in the beautiful location of the Kings Dock on the River Mersey, it offers visitors a unique experience in one of the UK's most vibrant cities.
UK Forks supplied telehandlers to the contractors that worked on this venue, Clipfine and Irvine Whitlock. Pictured below is Ian from Clipfine in one of our 7m machines, and how the completed Arena now looks, after completion.
Echo Arena Liverpool is a state of the art 10,000 plus seater arena. A versatile space that is the perfect venue for concerts, comedy, family entertainment and sport.
Events are divided, in the first of the published brochures, under the banners of music, literature, art, streets, stage, participation, conversation, sport and exploring. The 11th January saw the official launch with a free event called ‘The People's Opening’, featuring amongst others Ringo Starr.
