Greenbank Sports Academy in Liverpool can host seminars, training days and meetings for up to 75 delegates in its Kinsella conference suite, with four wheelchair-accessible double bedrooms in the same building. The academy is part of Greenbank, a Liverpool charity focused on inclusive sport, exercise and wellbeing, and it sits on Greenbank Lane in the L17 district of the city.
Seminars and company events
The conference suite is the part of the site built for organisers. It is called the Kinsella suite and groups two meeting rooms, a serviced reception area, a separate office, a laundry facility and four accessible toilets. The official site gives the suite a total capacity of 75 delegates.
The two rooms suit different formats. The Brunswick Conference Room seats up to 50 delegates and has a large multimedia screen for presentations, plus its own kitchen. The Smithdown Room seats up to 25 and has a screen that connects to a computer or laptop. Used together, they let a team run a plenary in Brunswick and break out into Smithdown, or keep two small groups apart for a full day.
The academy also lets organisers hire its sports hall. This opens the door to active team days, inclusive sport sessions or a wellbeing programme alongside a conference. The official site does not publish a capacity for the hall, so ask the team for dimensions and layouts when you enquire.
Rooms and capacities
Each room is listed below with the figures the official site gives.
The Brunswick Conference Room holds up to 50 delegates, with a multimedia screen and a kitchen. The Smithdown Room holds up to 25 delegates, with a screen for a laptop. The whole suite is rated for 75 delegates. The suite also has a serviced reception area and a separate office, which can serve as a registration desk or a base for the organising team.
The sports hall is a separate space with its own hire terms. Bookings are made by email, where the academy sends a quote and agrees a service level with the customer.
Accommodation
The Kinsella suite includes four double en-suite bedrooms with wheelchair access. A laundry facility is on site. This makes the suite practical for a residential training course, a small team retreat or speakers who travel from far away, and it keeps accessible accommodation in the same building as the meeting rooms.
Catering
The official site does not describe a catering service. The Brunswick Room has a kitchen, which is the only catering-related facility the site mentions. Ask the team what is allowed in the room and whether an outside caterer can use it.
History and setting
Greenbank Sports Academy describes itself as the home of inclusive sport, exercise and wellbeing. It is part of Greenbank, a long-established Liverpool charity that provides services for disabled people and other disadvantaged groups. The site mentions Paralympians, power sports, local teams and accessibility as parts of its identity. For an organiser, this means a venue where accessibility is a working principle, not an afterthought, and where the facilities are used daily by clubs and community programmes.
Getting there
The academy is at Greenbank Lane, Liverpool L17 1AG. The official site has a location page, but this page does not state transport details, so check it before you plan travel for delegates.
