The Liverpool Olympia is a venue in Liverpool, England, situated on West Derby Road next to The Grafton Ballroom. The Liverpool Olympia was built in 1905 For Moss Empires Ltd by architect Frank Matcham as a purpose built indoor circus and variety theatre. The theatre was a response to the enormous success of Thomas Barrasford's Royal Hippodrome Theatre which stood a very short distance away; the Olympia never managed to meet the success of the Hippodrome, and never managed a profit.
