With our 18th birthday on the horizon, we are taking a look back at some notable events and highlights over the years so far. Millennium Point was conceived in 1999 as the catalyst for the regeneration of the Eastside of Birmingham city centre. It was opened officially on 2nd July 2002 by HRH Queen Elizabeth II, and today is the last remaining Millennium Project remaining outside of London. Our nature as a public building, commercial events venue and charitable trust means that our building means a lot to many different people for a variety of different reasons and various times within the almost two decades of our existence.

This week we are looking at the inception of the Young Innovator Prize – what has become known today as our annual Millennium Point Trust Scholarship competition – and the closure of the renowned Giant Screen Cinema.

2014 – Millennium Point Launched the Young Innovator Prize (Millennium Point Scholarship)
Today, we’re delighted to see that there is a significant emphasis made by the government and local authorities on skills pertaining to roles in science, technology, engineering and maths (known collectively as ‘STEM’) both in education and in business (although there is still a long way to go in bridging the STEM skills gap and addressing wider issues such as inequality and diversity). Back in the early 2010s, however, this was not the case.

In 2014, Millennium Point’s Charitable Trust arm partnered with our tenants, Birmingham City University, to launch the Young Innovator Prize. This initiative was designed to encourage young people to consider careers in STEM by offering one lucky winner a fully funded undergraduate degree at Birmingham City University’s Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment. A call was put out to school leavers across the West Midlands region and six young hopefuls were selected to compete in a live final of the competition the following March. The launch event took place in our Atrium space in December 2014, where our then CEO Philip Singleton announced the competition alongside (then) Dean of BCU’s Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment and engineer and popular BBC Presenter Kate Bellingham, known for presenting the BBC 1 Tomorrow’s World.

The first final was hosted by popular comedian, writer and broadcaster Robin Ince and saw then 17-year old Malik Sheryar-Karamat from Ark St Alban’s claim the sponsorship prize.

Malik graduated with 1st Class Honours in Mechanical Engineering in 2018.

In 2017, the Young Innovator Prize was overhauled to what it’s known today as the Millennium Point Scholarship. This overhaul was part of a wider refresh that the Millennium Point Charitable Trust was undergoing in order to increase the visibility and impact of the charity’s contributions back into the West Midlands region. The scholarship is still running today, with the most recent winner, 28-year old Shennice Talburt, being crowned back in March this year.

The competition will open again from September for students looking to study at Birmingham City University’s Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment.

2015 – The Last Performance at Millennium Point’s Giant Screen Cinema.

In our 2010/2011 Birthday blog, we talked about the transition from IMAX to the Giant Screen before alluding to its subsequent closure.

Following a great 14-year-long run, The Giant Screen Cinema’s time at Millennium Point was drawing to a close, and what better way to say goodbye than with one last epic movie night?

The movie chosen for the final performance was from the world famous fantasy film series and the second-highest-grossing film of 2014 – The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. With the incredible sound quality and a 70ft x 41ft cinema screen, over 100 people were able to sit and enjoyed the show.

Both iterations of the cinema as an IMAX and the Giant Screen is something that was close to the hearts of Brummies and something that many will still reference today. Unfortunately, the closure was a sign of the times with increased competition and a rapid decline in attendance, it was no longer sustainable for the charitable trust to uphold. Their legacy lives on, however, in the Millennium Point you have come to know today.

The foyer of the cinema on level 1 was transformed into the flexible open plan event space Platform. This space features an in-situ, fully licenced bar and slick audio-visual equipment including multiple HD repeater screens and PA system.

Platform is available for hire for events

The installation of a new white screen and 4K digital projector means that the former cinema, now known as the Auditorium, is still a key attraction for client events held at our multi-award winning venue. To this day, the quality of the auditorium remains outstanding and has become the home for major events in the region such as the Birmingham Film Festival and VSFighting.

Our Auditorium is the home of several major events including Birmingham Film Festival and can be hired now

The Auditorium is available for hire right now suitable for a wide range of great events from film screenings to product launches and live performances. Find out more by visiting the dedicated page or getting in contact with our friendly events team on 0121 202 2200 or [email protected]

Millennium Point is a landmark public building and multi-award-winning events venue in the Eastside of Birmingham City centre. Profits from our commercial activity are invested by the Millennium Point Charitable Trust into projects, events and initiatives which support the growth of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and education in the West Midlands.

With our 18th birthday on the horizon, we decided to take a look back at some notable events and highlights over the years so far. This week, we are looking at our car park getting recognition as one of the ‘coolest’ in the world (you read that right) and our role in one of the best drama shows in recent memory.

2012 – Millennium Point welcomes AC-12

Steve Arnott, Ted Hastings (like the battle) and Kate Fleming all called Millennium Point home in the first series of BBC crime drama Line of Duty.

Jed Mercurio’s gripping series, centred on the efforts of a police anti-corruption unit to tackle ‘bent coppers’, transformed our meeting complex into interrogation rooms as the case of DCI Tony Gates unfolded.

Millennium Point was used for internal shots of the Police headquarters – most notably in episode three of the first series – where you can see our iconic Atrium, glass elevators and space-age looking escalators!

Notice the view of Curzon Street Station through the slats on the front of our building.

In this scene, the camera is looking down on level 4 of the building. You can see our escalators and a glimpse of our auditorium.

The first series was famously filmed in Birmingham with several other landmarks and familiar sites including the Grade II listed pub in the Jewellery Quarter, The Queens Arms and Broadstreet also spotted in several scenes.

The show has gone on to be recognised as one of the BBC’s most successful projects and we are proud to have played our part in its opening series.

2013 – ‘Worlds Coolest Car Park’?

Now, the terms ‘car park’ and ‘cool’ don’t often go hand-in-hand, but we have always set out to be different… In 2013, the Jennens Road multi-storey, which glows blue at night, was one of ten facilities vying for the title of Coolest Car Park in the World.

The cuboid structure which sits next to Millennium Point is one of many Birmingham buildings built in the ‘Brutalist’ style of architecture. The car park is owned by Birmingham City Council and designed by its in-house architects Urban Design.

So there you have it! Next time you think Millennium Point; well as remembering (obviously) that we’re a multi-award winning events & conference venue, landmark public building and charitable trusts; remember that we’re both the home of a super cool cop drama and a super cool car park!

In the current climate, outdoor events are becoming an increasingly attractive idea for event organisers. The fresh air and natural daylight will keep your audience happy and engaged. Most importantly, it’s a simple twist which makes it easy to implement social distancing measures to protect your delegates without compromising the scope of your event.

Millennium Point has two outdoor spaces for you to consider. This week we look at outdoor parties.

Why host an Outdoor Party?

Hosting an outdoor party is a popular idea particularly in the summer months where the promise of warm weather and sunshine is greater. The sunshine and fresh air are thought to increase serotonin levels which improve mood, meaning party guests will be happier and more engaged.

However, there is a greater benefit which you should consider. Most outdoor spaces, like at Millennium Point, are spacious. This means more opportunitiesty to implement social distancing measures to protect your staff and attendees without compromising the vision and capacity of your event.

While venues should have their own best practices for implementing social distancing measures, such as Millennium Point’s Client Protection Plan, the outdoor environment will help to reduce risk and potentially entice more guests to attend who may be anxious about large numbers in enclosed spaces.

Of course, there are some considerations which we will address later.

Hosting your Outdoor Party

Millennium Point is in the Eastside of Birmingham City centre. Our landmark public building is easy to spot and even easier to get to by foot, car or public transport. We have an on-site multi-storey car park and are five minutes from Moor Street and fifteen minutes from New Street Station.

Promenade is our open public space which backs onto Eastside city park providing ample room ideal for staging a larger, more public outdoor party. Our promenade benefits from naturally high footfall which means more opportunity to generate a captive audience. This space has access to power and is close to our ground floor Atrium and level 1 space, Platform.

What about social distancing concerns?

As mentioned above, Millennium Point has released our Client Protection Plan (CPP) which outlines in detail how we are adapting and implementing measures to protect you, your booking, your delegates and our staff during this unprecedented time. Measures include queue management barriers, signage and floor markings and contact-free catering. For full details please visit this webpage here or get in touch with our team on 0121 202 2200.

What about bad weather?

While we can anticipate the weather, it’s never guaranteed. Millennium Point offers outdoor furniture which includes seating from chairs to beanbags, umbrellas for shade and outdoor gazebos. We can also offer pop-up bars and catering in addition to our in-door fully licenced bar. These elements can be adapted to suit your brand and theme of your event, and if we can’t meet your needs in-house, we will work with you using our network to find the best suppliers who can.

If the weather is too bad then we will work hard to offer solutions such as bringing it indoors to our Platform or 354-seat Auditorium with giant screen, again, ensuring that all precautions have been taken to make sure the event is safe and compliant with social distancing regulations.

While we can’t guarantee the weather, we can guarantee a high-level service, professional and flexible event management and a range of catering and high-tech audio-visual support.

Millennium Point partnered with a popular local acoustic duo for a feel-good Friday concert broadcast to hundreds of viewers on Facebook Live.

On Friday 5^th June Millennium Point invited popular local musicians, Jade & JP Acoustic Duo, to perform in the multi-award-winning venue’s Platform event space for the enjoyment of people online.

The performance included the titular duo sitting 2m apart on opposite sofas performing to cameras, which was then broadcast live through Facebook on Millennium Point’s page. The duo laughed and chatted with each other and viewers within the stream while performing an eclectic mix of popular hits from an emotional rendition of The Fugees “Killing Me Softly” to a high energy cover of “Belle of Belfast City” originally by the late Kirsty MacColl.

The duo commented, “It has been an absolutely fabulous evening, we’re so glad to have been invited here this evening by Millennium Point.” Before rounding off the evening with an explosive rendition of “River Deep – Mountain High” made famous by Tina Turner.

This two-hour performance has been viewed almost 5000 times on the social media network, with viewers hailing from Southern Ireland to Sweden. You can view the full performance on below.

Bringing people together

This online performance is the first of what Millennium Point hopes to be a series of events and live performances hosted remotely and safely in our award-winning venue and broadcast online for people both locally and around the world to come together and enjoy.

Millennium Point is an organisation which is, and has always been, about bringing people together. This has always been a core principle on which our organisation was founded; whether that is through the building, such as being the home of the renowned Thinktank Science Museum, through our charitable projects such as the small grants or fully funded scholarship or through the multitude of events hosted through our venue.

We believe this principle is needed now, more than ever. Friday was a great success thanks to an amazing musical act and the technology and space we have available.

While our venue is closed for the time being, we’re delighted that we can still bring people together during such a critical time.

Want to broadcast your own event?
Millennium Point has everything you need to broadcast your next big event with our live video streaming bolt-on. Get in touch with our events team on 0121 202 2200 or by contacting [email protected].

Millennium Point has two outdoor spaces for you to consider and each week we will be putting a different event idea under the spotlight. This week, we look at outdoor screenings.

Why an Outdoor Screening?

Outdoor screenings are nothing new, they’re particularly popular during the summertime and around major sporting events such as the Olympics or the World Cup. Our multi-award-winning venue has hosted fan zones in the past as testament to that.

However, in light of the recent coronavirus pandemic, there is an increased need to ensure that measures are put in place to restrict crowds and implement social distancing something which outdoor spaces can achieve quite easily with the proper planning without compromising the vision and capacity of your event.

Moving your screening outdoors also adds an additional experience into the mix, mainly a more relaxed and sensual experience compared to being in a cinema or pub. Similarly, its very visual. People walking past can see what you’re screening, see your branding and, even if it’s ticketed, it has the potential to grab their attention and lead to future sales. Of course, there are some considerations which we will address later.

Host an outdoor screening at Millennium Point.

Millennium Point is in the Eastside of Birmingham City centre. Our landmark public building is easy to spot and even easier to get to by foot, car or public transport is just five minutes from Moor Street and fifteen minutes from New Street Station.

Both of our outdoor spaces at Millennium Point benefit from natural sunlight. Ingress offers a closed, semi-private outdoor space. It’s adjacent to our level 1 space, Platform, which has a fully licenced bar and restroom facilities. It’s also adjacent to the Millennium Point privately owned car park which can be used for drive-in style screenings.

Promenade is our open public space which backs onto Eastside city park providing ample room ideal for staging an outdoor screening. Our promenade benefits from naturally high footfall which means more opportunity to generate a captive audience. This space has access to power and is close to our ground floor atrium and level 1 space, Platform.

What about social distancing and the weather?

Millennium Point has released a Client Protection Plan (CPP) which outlines in detail how we are adapting and implementing measures to protect you, your booking, your delegates and our staff during this unprecedented time. Measures include queue management barriers, signage and floor markings and contact-free catering. For full details please visit this webpage here or get in touch with our team.

Sunny, hot weather is the dream however, that’s not always the case (especially in the UK). Millennium Point offers outdoor furniture which includes seating from chairs to beanbags, umbrellas for shade and outdoor gazebos. We can also offer pop-up bars and catering in addition to our in-door fully licenced bar. These elements can be adapted to suit your brand and theme of your event, and if we can’t meet your needs in-house, we will work with you using our network to find the best suppliers who can.

While we can’t guarantee the weather, we can guarantee a high-level service, professional and flexible event management and a range of catering and high-tech audio-visual support.

With our 18th birthday on the horizon, we thought it might be nice to take a look back on some of our key events and highlights over the years so far.

This week has an entertainment focus, as we look back at the refurbishment of our IMAX and unique art installation.

2010 – Gunther Von Hagens – Body Worlds

The Body Worlds exhibits are one of the most successful travelling exhibitions in the world.

On display since 1995, they have attracted more than 50 million visitors in over 140 cities across America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.

We welcomed the unique works to Millennium Point in 2010, bringing a truly awe-inspiring and thought-provoking piece to Birmingham. The exhibitions were conceived to educate the public about the inner workings of the human body and to show the effects of healthy and unhealthy lifestyles. They aimed to inspire visitors to become aware of the fragility of their bodies and to recognize the anatomical individual beauty inside each of us.

This fascinating work is still on tour, for the latest news about this visit the official website.

2011 – IMAX Refurbishment

Slightly before it’s 10th anniversary the IMAX underwent a £400,000 refurbishment where it lost the titular branding and transformed into a state-of-the-art 4K cinema, the Giant Screen. Our IMAX screen had long been an attraction prior to its refurbishment. However, the transformation brought it up to date with evolving cinematic technology. It also meant the screen was no longer bound to the IMAX library (which was quite limited for releases at the time) and instead opened up this impressive space to a much larger audience, allowing a wider variety of content to be screened including more cinematic releases and major live events such as the Olympics.

While the Giant Screen would eventually close in 2015, both iterations of this groundbreaking cinematic experience are still remembered fondly by Brummies as part of Birmingham’s evolving cultural and technological progress at the turn of the century.

Their legacy lives on, however, in the Millennium Point you have come to know today. The foyer of the cinema on level 1 was transformed into the flexible open plan event space Platform. This space features an in-situ, fully licenced bar and slick audio-visual equipment including multiple HD repeater screens and PA system. The installation of a new white screen and 4K digital projector means that the former cinema, now known as the Auditorium, is still a key attraction for client events held at our multi-award winning venue. To this day, the quality of the auditorium remains outstanding and has become the home for major events in the region such as the Birmingham Film Festival and VSFighting.

Bring your household together for an evening of feel-good hits and timeless classics from our award-winning venue straight to your smart devices.

Millennium Point has teamed up with popular local acoustic duo Jade Duncombe and JP Haslam, known collectives as “Jade & JP”, to present an evening of live music streamed straight to your living room. The event will take place on Thursday 4^th June over on the Millennium Point Facebook page at 8:30 pm, after the nation’s weekly clap for key workers.

This vibrant 2-hour session will include an eclectic mix of feel-good hits from The Beatles to Rihanna. Jade & JP alongside the Millennium Point team will be on live chat taking requests and chatting with viewers.

This event is free and will be live-streamed from the Millennium Point Facebook account from 8:30 pm until 10:30 pm on Thursday 4^th June 2020. Join the official Facebook event and don’t forget to like and follow our page for updates and alerts on when we’re going live.

Millennium Point Events has unveiled a new five-point plan outlining our strategy for delivering events once the building reopens and lockdown measures are lifted.

What’s it for?

The Millennium Point Events Client Protection Plan (CPP) outlines how we as a venue are creating a safe and controlled environment for our clients and their delegates in preparation for lockdown measures being eased in the UK. The plan also serves as a framework which the organisation will continue to develop in-line with government guidance on social distancing and the latest events industry information and advice. Combined, this document is designed to give peace of mind to clients and make the first steps towards returning to business.

What’s in the plan?

The full plan can be downloaded here. It is based on five key themes which our business identified through client feedback, hospitality and events industry research and the latest guidance from the UK Government. Each theme covers a range of new measures from contact-free catering and personal protective equipment to virtual tours of spaces and a live video streaming bolt-on for events. An infographic summarising content in the plan is included below.

Why are we doing this?

The outbreak of Covid-19 has changed how we as individuals interact with each other and our environments daily. This impact will have far-reaching consequences, way beyond what is currently happening now. Whether it is the public, an event booker, an event attendee or our wonderful staff members; we value wellbeing and the need to feel safe in our venue and confident in our services.

We want to assure you that now, more than ever, we are looking ahead and planning to ensure that we can open our doors safely and welcome you back when the time is right.

The landscape of events is changing. Although the way we do things might not be the same, and in some instances from a distance, to what we’re used to, rest assured that you are in safe (and sanitized) hands.

Our fantastic team will work to provide a successful and memorable event for you and your delegates.

The full plan is available on this page. For further information on the plan or on booking an event with our award-winning venue please contact a member of our friendly events team today on 0121 202 2200 or [email protected]

With our 18th birthday on the horizon, we thought it might be nice to take a look back on some of our key events and highlights over the years so far. This week we look back at hosting a charitable institution broadcast to the nation and a major coup for cinema fans in the city.

2008 – The Dark Knight Cometh

The Dark Knight was deemed an instant classic on release back in 2008, with its reputation and impact continuing to grow over the years. Now rated as the fourth-best movie of all time on IMDB, the movie is the first Hollywood film to have been partly shot using IMAX format cameras.

This worked out perfectly for movie fans in Birmingham, who got to see The Dark Knight in all of its glory on our IMAX screen, one of only four in the UK at the time. Six scenes from The Dark Knight were shot in IMAX, including the now-iconic opening segment with The Joker robbing a bank.

Here’s a bonus nugget for all you comic book and movie fans out there. Over a decade later, Batman would return to our giant screen in our new 354-seat auditorium for a one-off screening of 1966 classic Batman starring Adam West. The screening was organised by local multi-media collective Geeky Brummie in partnership with Not Another Comic Con to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the caped crusader.

The Auditorium is now available to hire for private screenings. We have also launched our exciting Festive film and food package for anyone looking to put a quirky spin on their festive office party – find out more here.

2009 – Children in Need – Pudsey Does Bhangra

Children in Need is one of the biggest charity initiatives in the UK, both as a fundraising drive and TV event. We were incredibly proud to take part in 2009 with a Bollywood themed party broadcast to the nation.

Joanne Malin, taking the Children In Need helm for the first time, presented live from Millennium Point alongside BBC Asian Network’s Adil Ray and Tommy Sandhu, and of course Pudsey Bear.

Spectators were able to try their hand at dhol drumming, take part in a Bollywood dance workshop and have their photos taken in the Asian Network Bollywood photo booth, in return for a donation to Children in Need. You can find a clip of the event below.
