Staff
Sefton Park Palm House staff aim to be friendly, approachable and professional. We are aware of the differing needs of running a venue that is both a popular place to visit and a location for quality events.
We have lots of ideas we would like to put into practice and are always interested in hearing about ideas from others. Why not give us a call if you have an idea for an event and we can it talk through with you.
