Millennium Point

What Millennium Point does

Millennium Point is a Birmingham-based charitable trust and award-winning events venue founded in 2001, operating from a landmark building in the city's Eastside district at Curzon Street. The single-property asset comprises thirteen event spaces — ranging from small meeting rooms such as Junction (up to 9 delegates, £150+VAT per session) and Connect 1–3, through breakout and reception areas (Atrium, Curzon Suite, Promenade, Station, Concourse, Engine, Intercity, Ingress, Metro), to larger auditoriums — alongside long-term commercial tenants Thinktank (Birmingham's science museum) and Birmingham City University. The technology stack supporting venue operations comprises integrated AV (projection, playback, PA), dedicated Level 4 high-speed Wi-Fi for events, and hybrid/virtual event hosting capability; catering infrastructure supports sustainably-sourced menus including breakfast, finger and fork buffets, canapés, bowl food, street food, and fine dining.

Revenue mechanics split between one-time transactional streams (venue hire, catering, Christmas party packages priced £41.50–£55.95+VAT per person for groups of 100–200 guests, team building activities delivered via Eventurous partnership) and subscription-style recurring income (commercial tenancy from Thinktank and Birmingham City University). All proceeds are channeled back into the charitable trust's STEM mission — scholarships, grants, SciSERIES programming, and a STEM Roundtable — supporting projects, initiatives, and individuals across the West Midlands. Pricing across catering is modular and per-person (e.g., £2.50–£39.50), with bespoke and menu-tasting options for fine dining.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: customers reach Millennium Point via the website, a phone line (0121 202 2200), walk-ins, and digital content (YouTube channel Millennium Point Media, blog, case studies). The events team pledges a 48-hour enquiry response SLA. Marketing channels also include seasonal activity (The Christmas Decorators partnership, 12-metre Christmas tree with 21,000 lights and 1,500 baubles) and the venue's own programming (The Dark Knight Trilogy screening, Labyrinth, Supplier Series, Makers of Birmingham: Science in the City). The organization is headquartered in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with a headcount of 11–50 employees and operations confined to the West Midlands region.
