Birmingham LGBT Centre is located at 151 Hurst Street, Birmingham B5 6EW, in the city centre, a short walk from Birmingham New Street and Moor Street railway stations and their associated bus and tram stops.
Rooms are usually available for hire from 30 minutes after the Centre opens to 30 minutes before the Centre closes, i.e. 10.30am to 5.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, 9.30am to 8.30pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and 11.00am to 5.30pm on Saturdays. The Centre is closed on Sundays.
There are no car-parking spaces at the Centre. There are some street parking spaces nearby and there are pay car parks at The Arcadian Centre and The Bull Ring Centre.
The Centre is all on the ground floor, with step-free access from Hurst Street.
Smoking, vaping and drinking alcohol is not allowed anywhere in the Centre. We run a sexual health clinic and confidential counselling sessions during the Centre’s opening hours, so groups are requested not to make noise that can be heard outside the room (e.g. by singing, chanting or playing music) to avoid disturbing other service users. We reserve the right to ask any group that disturbs other service users to leave the Centre at once without a refund of the room hire fee.
We can provide an urn or kettle with tea, instant coffee and water for £1.50 per person in addition to the room hire fee.
Food for groups can be provided by our partner caterers, please email hello@blgbt.org for details.
