We know that venue hunting can be a task and a half, so we’ve compiled a list of some of the best venues for small events in Birmingham. If you are looking for something a little more specific, head over to our website and make use of our free venue finding services.
The Hare & Hounds has been around for a pretty long time, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have a great time there. Playing host to local Birmingham legends UB40’s first ever gig in 1979, the venue has quickly established itself as one of the most influential music venues in the UK. This bespoke pub in Kings Heath is a great venue for a small event such as a party or mini celebration; with two downstairs bars serving fantastic food, and live music (from the likes of Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and Ellie Goulding) and club nights upstairs.

You can guarantee that you’ll get food of the best quality here, so why not book for a private get together, or any other small event. If delicious pub grub is your thing, the Sunflower Lounge is perfect for you. Their drinks aren’t half bad either!

Not many people would think of booking an apartment for an event, but you’ll be surprised at what you can do with the space. Not just a sleeping space and hotel, the City Nites is a luxury, self-catering living space that can be hired out for a range of small events. As with most hotels, all you need to do is hire out a room and you can make the venue suit your individual event needs. What more could you ask for from a venue? You can choose between the Arena Suite and the King Suite, both parties and events with around 20-25 guests.
