Birmingham LGBT has several spaces you can hire for whatever type of meeting you have in mind to accommodate as few as 2 people and as many as 25. The various spaces work equally well as meeting rooms or training rooms. Whether you need a room to deliver training, a room for one-to-one counselling, or a larger space for an informal event, Birmingham LGBT has something to offer. We offer a discount from our normal hire rates for unfunded LGBT community groups.
General Notes
Birmingham LGBT Centre is located at 38-40 Holloway Circus, Birmingham B1 1EQ, in the city centre, a short walk from Birmingham New Street and Moor Street railway stations.
Rooms are available for hire during the Centre’s opening hours, and usually have to be vacated 30 minutes before the Centre’s closing time. The Centre’s opening times are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 10am to 6pm, Thursday and Friday 10am to 9pm and Saturday 11.30am to 7pm. The Centre is closed on Sundays.
There are no car-parking spaces at the Centre.
The ground floor has step-free access from the street and the first floor is accessed via 22 stairs. A small lift can be made available if required for use by reduced-mobility people.
Smoking, vaping and drinking alcohol is not allowed anywhere in the Centre. We run a sexual health clinic and confidential counselling sessions at the Centre, 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.
An urn or kettle with tea, coffee, water and biscuits are provided free of charge.
Food for groups can be provided by our partner CIC caterers, please ask for details.
