The Space Birmingham

I first heard about The Space in May of 2014 and knew that it would be a very cool venue for an event.
Looking around at the places in the city, I wanted to have a Launch event for #BrumHour at a creative and fresh venue. The owner, Chandeep has been a great champion of BrumHour, so it felt right that the venue would be the best host.
I went down to The Space for the first time at the start of August 2014 and the three rooms vary a lot in size. However, they are all painted a brilliant white with high ceilings and huge windows to let a lot of natural light in.
The main room is the carter room and can host around 50 people. When I came to host my event at the start of February 2015, I had 30 people and 5 tables with creative businesses from around Birmingham to share their project work on them.
Chandeep was very clear about pricing, and timescales and this gave me a huge confidence boost that everything would run pretty smoothly.
I hired the venue for 4 hours and used it for a 2 hour event including setup and going live.
It can be used as a dance and drama rehearsal space, a creative gallery, a small theatre room or even a board room!

Amazing service. You know a great business when all the tiny details, from initial enquiry all the way through to completion are perfect. I am a really fussy bu**** and like things just so. I like businesses that go the extra mile. I like people who anticipate what will make my life easier. The Space scored massively on all these counts.
So, we needed a small meeting room away from our busy office to strategize and plan. All our usual meeting options where full, other venues either couldn’t be bothered responding or were to pricey or not quite right.
Normally a local coffee shop or similar could fit the bill, but not for this kind of meeting. I knew of The Space through Twitter, as another Jewellery Quarter business, so I dropped them a line. I quick response confirmed everything I needed to know and prices where very competitive. Booking was super easy.
We all arrived to be greeted by the helpful and friendly owner (I think) and shown around. Our room was perfect. Tea and coffee and biscuits provided, self serve. The tea mugs were neatly arranged, the tea spoons were ready in clean water, water jug and glasses all arranged on the table, the heater was on, the chairs and tables just right.
What this attention to details means is that we could simply relax and focus on the business of the day. It was a great meeting and the venue and service received went at least some way towards allowing that to happen.
Worth noting that although The Space is kinda in the middle of an industrial estate it’s also very close to the bus routes on Great Hampton St, the JQ station and maybe 5 – 6 minutes walk from Snow Hill. You can also grab a nice lunch at the equally excellent The Lord Clifden if you need to, tho the venue does do meeting catering upon request.
Highly recommended all ’round!
