ACC Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena hosted a one-night-only concert, A Celebration of Liverpool Zoe’s Place, the city’s beloved children’s hospice on 17 July 2025.
The event brought together an incredible mix of Merseyside talent to thank the community that saved the hospice from closure and to raise vital funds for its next chapter, now renamed Little Lights Liverpool Baby Hospice.
The venue, part of The ACC Liverpool Group and home to the M&S Bank Arena, Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre, offered to assist wherever possible in helping with the campaign to save the much-loved Liverpool hospice from closure.
Headlined by Jamie Webster, The Zutons, Lightning Seeds and many more amazing performers with the backing from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the event was a once-in-a-lifetime show of solidarity and creativity.
With over 9000 tickets sold, organisers called it a “landmark cultural moment” for Liverpool, not just musically, but emotionally too, as the hospice revealed its new name, Little Lights – Liverpool Baby Hospice, to a rapturous crowd.
“We see ourselves not only as a major events venue, but as a catalyst for positive change in Liverpool and beyond,” said Faye Dyer, chief executive of The ACC Liverpool Group. “Our role in the Zoe’s Place campaign reflects our belief that venues should do more than host events – they should actively contribute to the wellbeing of the communities they serve.”
This latest initiative builds on ACC Liverpool’s longstanding commitment to social responsibility. The venue has delivered over £2.1bn in economic impact to the Liverpool City Region since opening in 2008 and continues to play a pivotal role in regional regeneration, skills development and inclusive growth.
