Back by popular demand, MP Presents is offering film fans the chance to get up close to the big screen whilst remaining safely distanced from each other, with three screenings of classic films.

Perfect for families, cult film fans and those looking for a fun evening out with friends, we’ve chosen three more films which will be screened in our award-winning venue’s giant Auditorium (formerly the IMAX cinema) over the August Bank Holiday Weekend. We’re kicking off this triple bank holiday treat with one of cinema’s finest films, The Shawshank Redemption, on Thursday 27th August followed by Disney Pixar’s animated classic Toy Story and the jukebox musical favourite Mamma Mia! on Friday 28th August in the morning and evening respectively. Each ticket also includes extras such as drinks, sweets and popcorn.

This announcement comes after the overwhelmingly positive response we received from our first series of socially distanced screenings last month, where cinema-goers complimented the measures we had implemented to keep people safe while providing a fun and sociable cinema experience.

How have we made it safe?
The award-winning events team at Millennium Point has been working hard to implement new hygiene and safety measures, to ensure all government guidelines are met. The Auditorium, which at full capacity can host 354 people, has been reduced to 181 seats to allow for physical distancing between cinema-goers, and all seats will be allocated in advance to pre-paid ticket holders. A deep clean will be carried out between performances and all screenings will be contactless and cash-free and staff and cinema-goers alike will be wearing facemasks. Specific details for measures we have taken can be found on each booking page (see bottom of this blog).
Following our socially distanced family screening of Trolls: World Tour, one satisfied cinema-goer commented:

“I just wanted to say how great mine and family’s experience was watching trolls today. I was very anxious but was immediately put at ease from all things you had implemented to make it COVID safe. It was lovely to do something normal again with my child without a worry. So thank you very much!”

Prices and extras included in Tickets
Tickets are available to purchase in advance on Eventbrite. Tickets can only be purchased in bundles with assigned seating to observe social distancing. Tickets for Toy Story are priced at £7.50 (plus booking fee) and include a drink and sweets for each child. Thursday night’s screening of The Shawshank Redemption includes two drinks in the £15 (plus booking fee) ticket price. Finally, Mamma Mia! includes a mini-bottle of bubbles and popcorn also for £15 (plus booking fee). Drinks and snacks, including some cheap deals, will also be available to purchase at our cashless bar at each screening.

Why are we doing this?
As the country starts to emerge from lockdown, we wanted to put on a series of fun and affordable events that appeal to a wide range of people, from families and couples to groups of friends. Cinema is a great form of escapism and watching films on our giant screen is a truly memorable experience, which we hope will offer a safe and enjoyable way for people to spend time together.

The whole team at Millennium Point has gone above and beyond to make sure we can safely adapt our spaces. We have a huge amount of experience in running events of all sizes, and our first priority was to make the venue as safe as possible. With the range of measures that we’ve put in place, we’re excited to get our events back underway, and can’t wait to welcome visitors to enjoy their cinema experience over the coming weeks.

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.

Finalists of the latest round of the Millennium Point Scholarship reunited over Zoom one last time this month to bid a fond farewell to the competition.

Millennium Point’s annual competition awards a fully funded degree to one young person in the West Midlands. This year’s competition took place in March and followed five young hopefuls looking to start their career in several STEM industries including Cyber Security, Mechanical Engineering and Construction Management. The competition, in partnership with Birmingham City University’s Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment, was won by Shennice Talburt, who will start her undergraduate BSc (Hons) Real Estate in September. Following the end of the competition, all finalists received ongoing support including a series of 1-on-1 coaching sessions conducted online to help them with their next steps.

Scholarship 2020 Finalists (From Left to Right) Kallum Wright, Chloe Copeland, Shennice Talburt, Lauren Davies, Amber Kelsey.

Four months on, finalists met over Zoom with Millennium Point’s Interim CEO, Abbie Vlahakis, Commercial Director, Rebecca Delmore, project lead Mat Lovell and course coach Hannah Wetz to discuss their experiences during the competition, their activities over lockdown and their futures. Finalists were then encouraged to remain in contact with each other and Millennium Point as part of the scholarship alumni.

Finalists met up with members of the Millennium Point team over Zoom.

One finalist commented, “The 1-on-1 coaching sessions were really useful – particularly, because of the pandemic. I was worried about my future and the coaching sessions helped me to take a step back, manage my worries and get back on track with where I want to be.”

The aftercare programme was switched to online following the UK going into lockdown at the end of March. Additionally, Millennium Point remains in contact with each finalist to expand their networks and work experience with local businesses and business leaders for as long as the young person chooses.

Mat Lovell, Marketing Coordinator and project lead for this year’s scholarship commented, “The Millennium Point Scholarship is more than a competition. It’s a project which encourages young people to pursue STEM careers and provide a platform through which they can achieve their potential. Our aim is to make sure all finalists, whether they win or not, benefit from the competition experience which is why we have worked hard on an aftercare programme which expands their industry networks and experience while helping to develop them as the next generation of STEM leaders.”

The next round of the competition will launch officially in September 2020 with the live final scheduled for March 2021. For further information on the scholarship competition please visit our dedicated page here.

Summer holidays are here and lockdown is easing, which means you can now treat the kids to a fun and safe day out in Birmingham.

While the pandemic is not over, attractions and venues across the country, like us, have implemented social distancing and hygiene measures to minimise risks without impacting on your fun. With that in mind, here’re 4 socially distant family days out you can now enjoy in Birmingham.

Disclaimer: Please make sure you read the latest government guidelines on coronavirus before considering a day out. If you or your child displays any symptoms then stay home.

1. SOCIALLY DISTANT CINEMA SCREENING AT MILLENNIUM POINT

Due to the pandemic, Dreamworks moved the release of Trolls: World Tour from a cinema release to digital where it became a big hit for families on lockdown. Now you can treat the kids to this year’s biggest hit animated comedy brought to you, for the first time, on the giant screen by Millennium Point.

Screening on Monday 27th July in the afternoon and again in the morning on Saturday 1st August, this is a fun and affordable way to see this family favourite on the big screen in a large and spacious cinema in Birmingham city centre. Tickets cost £7.50 each and include a drink and a bag of sweets for each child.

This is a perfect choice for families looking to ease their way gently back into ‘going out’ as opposed to the hustle and bustle of major attractions.

How is it safe?
Millennium Point has worked hard to ensure you and your family feel safe and comfortable. We have limited the number of seats for each screening. Tickets are only available in bundles with allocated seating to ensure households are sitting apart from each other. Deep cleans happen between each performance; staff are fully trained and will be in PPE, sanitisation stations are in operation and the experience is cashless and contactless – with all food and drink coming pre-packaged to minimise contact.

Overall, this is a fun and educational experience with enough on offer to keep it fresh and appealing.

Cadbury World has something for everyone. Discover an immersive 4D chocolate adventure, explore the science behind chocolate making and have a go at making your own; discover the origins of the cocoa bean or travel back in time to 1824 and visit J.D Cadbury’s shop on recreated Bull Street.

4. BIRMINGHAM WALKING TOURS

Have fun exploring the second-city day out on one of two quirky heritage walks with a treasure hunt style. All you need to do is buy the trails in booklet or instant download format and you’re set. You’ll get everything – detailed directions, maps, clues and interesting snippets about the history of Birmingham and the people that have shaped it.

This is a fun, cheap alternative to a big-city attraction getting you and your family off the sofa and out and about in the great outdoors where you can be safe and socially distant.

How is it safe?
Quite simply, it’s outside and down to you when and how long you do it for. This means you can easily maintain social distancing and have complete control over your safety and the safety of your family. You will have no queues or crowds and can take the trails at your own pace.

This virtual event will bring together a host of inspiring speakers to the virtual stage to share their own stories and how the experience of journey shapes society and the world around us.

What’s TEDxAston?
TEDxAston is a series of events organised by Aston University students since 2013. Students range from freshers to PHD, volunteering their time and resource outside of their work and academic studies to design and deliver TEDxAston for the benefit of students and the local community.
The TEDxAston team of 20 students is supported by staff at Aston University and an advisory board made up of businesses including Millennium Point.

The journey of TEDxAston “Journeys’
The TEDx team have overcome several obstacles to achieve this event in-light of the Coronavirus pandemic. The team’s decision to move TEDxAston online was made in response to the uncertain situation of the pandemic.

Tristan Ripke, Student and Executive Director for TEDxAston, comments:

“The team’s decision to take the event online was a challenging one. We had to slow down at first to adjust to the new situation. However, we believe in TED’s mission of sharing ideas worth spreading and want TEDxAstonUniversity to benefit the local and regional community.”

“All the work is taking place from student bedrooms across Europe, Africa and Asia via Google Meet. It’s been a challenging adjustment for many members balancing academic and personal affairs alongside the pressures of the pandemic, which is why I’m very grateful to be working with such an amazing team.”

Why is this important?
Students at Aston University have risen to the challenge posed by COVID-19 and embraced technology to take their TEDx formula online. Not only does the organisation and “Journeys” seek to encourage education and discussion in Birmingham, but the journey the students themselves have taken demonstrates the resilience and commitment to providing opportunities for themselves and the wider community to learn and grow.

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 focusing on two key openings that help make Millennium Point the attraction it is today.

2018 – Platform launches after refurbishment
In 2018, we launched Platform, a brand new flexible event space which is adjoined to our 354-seat Auditorium. The official launch night was held on a mild September evening and saw the cream of Birmingham’s business world invited to see it ahead of reopening. With entertainment throughout the night from Elegant Entertainment, free-flowing drinks, mouth-watering food from the brand new menu and even an interactive mirror photo booth and photo wall, guests experienced the height of hospitality throughout.

Formerly the foyer for the Giant Screen Cinema, this level 1 space was transformed over the summer months into fit-for-purpose open-plan space. In addition to a new look and feel in-line with the Millennium Point Events branding, new features included a built-in bar, presentation facilities and dedicated AV equipment. Since launch, Platform has remained one of our most popular spaces and has seen a wealth of events from exhibitions, conferences and AGMs to formal dining, Christmas parties and even an eSports tournament!

Check out space on our venue page or you can book a contact-free guided tour by calling our friendly events team on 0121 202 2200 or via our online contact form.

2019 – MiniBrum rolls into town
MiniBrum has been a roaring success since its opening in Thinktank Science Museum at Millennium Point in May 2019.

Funded partially by the Millennium Point Charitable Trust, MiniBrum was created by Thinktank in collaboration with schools, families and community groups. It allows children under 8 to explore and question their understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) world around them.

The Thinktank based role play city, centred around the famous Old Joe clock tower, is truly a one-off experience and has been enjoyed by people of all ages in the months following its launch. From shopping at the Bullring to going on a barge down Gas Street Basin, Mini-Brum is as entertaining as it is educational.

Its 750 square metres is split into five different zones, with a phone in each so you can call and book a table at the cafe, an appointment at the doctors or the station to check if your train is on time.

MiniBrum will be back open along with the museum over the next few months, for more information please visit their website.
