Athena is one of the Midlands leading dedicated events venues, sitting in the heart of Leicester's Cultural Quarter. Silver award winner for 'Best Awards Venue' at the 2017 Awards Awards and Winner of the 2014 Large Venue of the Year Award from Drum Magazine. Athena was originally designed and built in 1936 by Robert Arthur Bulllivant as an Odeon cinema. The venue represented one of the largest, most extravagant buildings within the region comprising simply of one cinema screen seating over 3,000 guests! It was subdivided into 4 screens in the 1960’s and remained closed throughout much of the 1990’s. Recently the building has been restored to its former glory and retains its original art deco splendour, along with a newfound reputation as a leading events venue within the Midlands. Over recent years we have invested in high quality technical equipment including a state of the art Wi-Fi system as well as LED lighting through the venue. We’ve also installed four crystal clear projectors and a seven metre high 1930’s Art Deco chandelier which is attached to motors and at the flick of a switch glides down from our twenty metre ceiling to rest just above guests’ heads! Athena is attractive to our client’s because of its unique and beautiful 1930’s Art Deco character which offers a refreshing change to a generic conference venue. Athena has an interesting and flexible layout taking clients on a natural journey through the venue. From a beautiful six metre high atrium to multiple bars on multiple levels with panoramic views of Leicester’s cultural quarter and finally into the impressive dining area with balcony viewing over. We are centrally located at the heart of Leicester’s cultural quarter, within walking distance of the city’s train station with easy motorway links.
