Our favourite 4 rehearsal studios in Birmingham

This rehearsal studio in Birmingham is spacious and inspiring. Sitting on Newhall Street, it’s very close to New Street Station. Split over two levels, you can hire each one individually.

The upstairs space has 350 square feet of space and can host between 15 to 30 people. With 2 breakout rooms, it’s an ideal rehearsal space.

Moreover, the downstairs can fit between 10 and 25 people and has lots of natural light. Also, this room in Love It Studios is fully accessible for disabled people.

Just a note — both of these are dry hires.

If you want to go the extra mile then why not hire both floors? You certainly won’t run out of space.

You may have heard of Ikon Gallery as one of Birmingham’s contemporary art venues. However, did you know that you can hire out rooms in grade 2 listed building?

In terms of the gallery, 500 people are able to fit comfortably (250 people on each floor). You certainly won’t run out of space. With high ceilings and walls decorated with current exhibitions of contemporary art, it’s a light and airy space.

For a smaller rehearsal studio, check out Ikon Gallery’s events room. Able to fit up to 60 people standing, there’s still plenty of room.

A great thing about this venue is that catering is available. For those long days when you don’t want to have a homemade lunch, enjoy a delicious array of food. The gallery is located on Oozells Square, Brindley Place and is open every day 11 am- 5 pm apart from Mondays.

Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is home to this restored Victorian factory. Now a hotel, Selina is decorated with amazing murals and locally selected art. Moreover, it's only a 10-minute walk from the city centre (and New Street Station) and is easily accessible by car.

Don’t stop reading if you’re looking for a rehearsal studio and not a hotel. The activity centre is available to hire and is able to fit up to 60 people standing. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of natural light. Paired with the light-coloured walls and furniture, Selina is extremely aesthetic —an ideal spot for a productive rehearsal session.

Introducing Factory Works, the newest edition to the Custard Factory. This Birmingham rehearsal studio is ideal for those looking for a large, open space. Sitting on Gibbs Street in Digbeth, Factory Works is the former loading docs for the factory. Now its 1200 square metre space has been transformed into an urban and trendy venue.

Open every day, Factory Works is made up of 3 rooms — the factory gallery, the floor and the riverside rooms. The distressed white beams and walls add to the modern vibe. Also, the huge windows on the ceiling mean that the room is continuously basking in natural light.
