Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Elegant, light filled spaces for meetings and events for up to 500 guests, with the backdrop of these beautiful botanic gardens set in leafy Edgbaston just 1.5 miles from Birmingham city centre; major routes are easily reached, and the nearest train station is only a few minutes car ride away. Such enchanting surroundings make this a choice venue for dreamy weddings, but also popular for all kinds of celebrations and business events.

There are three suites, all accessed by a stroll through the beautiful domed glasshouses; what an entrance! All suites have heaps of natural daylight pouring in and there’s a notable air of calm; perfect for drinks receptions, summer parties, and candlelit banquets, and for conferences, awards presentations, product launches, training days … in fact, for any meeting big or small.

The Terrace Suite holds 250 people for a drinks reception, 180 for a sparkling dinner, or 200 for a theatre style presentation or conference; it has a built-in bar and a sprung dance floor. Hire it with the Garden Suite for bigger events for up to 500 people.

The Garden Suite has capacity for up to 500 guests for a drinks reception, 432 for a banquet, 384 for a dinner dance, or 350 in theatre style; it can be swiftly partitioned into three rooms. Hire includes the Palm Lounge, the suite’s private bar area which doubles as an excellent reception or registration space.

The London Suite is big enough for a maximum of 60 guests standing or seated in the Cedar Room, with the adjacent Conservatory overlooking the Japanese Garden being perfect for catering space, break out sessions, or for drinks receptions.

As well as superfast wifi, there’s multi-zone sound systems, Sonos music players, PA systems with channel mixers, and handheld radio microphones; additional audio-visual equipment can be hired to your requirements. There are three packages for day delegates, a banqueting package, and a Christmas party package; all offer good value for money. The venue works with award winning caterers to bring you a fantastic selection of delectable menus, or they’ll happily create one that’s bespoke to your event.

There is parking at the venue for 120 cars, on a first-come-first-served basis, and guests have access to those spectacular gardens. What a treat!
