The Priory Rooms Birmingham

Conference Venue Hire in Birmingham City Centre

Looking for a standout conference venue in Birmingham? The Priory Rooms is an award-winning, not-for-profit conference and meeting venue situated in the heart of the city — just minutes from Birmingham New Street, Snow Hill and Moor Street stations.

Whether you’re planning an intimate leadership session, a full-day training conference or a large-scale event for over 200 delegates, we offer flexible spaces, exceptional service and a venue with genuine values behind it.

A Conference Venue That Does Things Differently

The Priory Rooms isn’t your typical conference venue hire in Birmingham. Rooted in Quaker values of integrity, sustainability and community, everything we do is guided by a commitment to doing business the right way.

As a not-for-profit organisation, a proportion of every booking goes back into community and charitable work through Central England Quakers. So when you hire our conference venue, your event actively contributes to positive social impact — a genuine differentiator that resonates with organisations that care about their corporate social responsibility.

We’ve been welcoming businesses, charities, public sector organisations and community groups to our Birmingham city centre venue for decades, and our team takes pride in making every event run smoothly from first enquiry to final delegate.

Our Conference Spaces

Main Meeting House

Our largest and most impressive conference space. The Main Meeting House is a stunning, fully accessible ground-floor room capable of hosting large conferences, AGMs, lectures, seminars and away-days. Available in theatre, cabaret and a range of other layouts.

Elizabeth Fry Room

A popular medium-sized conference room with flexible layout options, perfect for focused team sessions and moderately sized events.

A spacious and flexible conference room ideal for training sessions, workshops and mid-size conferences. Multiple layout configurations available.

William Penn Room

A large, well-equipped meeting space suited to workshops, team conferences and structured training programmes.

Plus six further rooms seating from 6 to 25 delegates — ideal for breakout sessions, smaller conference streams or supporting spaces during larger events.

All conference rooms include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, individual air conditioning, and access to audiovisual equipment. Our Atrium provides a bright, spacious area for delegate registration, networking and refreshment breaks.

Sustainably Minded Conference Venue Hire in Birmingham

Sustainability isn’t an afterthought at The Priory Rooms — it’s embedded in every aspect of how we operate. Our conference venue runs on 100% renewable electricity, collects rainwater for use in flushing and watering, and serves exclusively Fairtrade refreshments.

Surplus food from events is donated to Lets Feed Brum, supporting Birmingham’s homeless community, and we hold First Mile’s Gold Recycling Standard, having recycled over 85% of our waste.

For organisations with sustainability commitments or ESG reporting requirements, hiring The Priory Rooms means your conference actively supports those goals — not just in intention, but in practice.
