in Birmingham
A flexible outdoor venue in South Birmingham, suitable for festivals, community events, and specialist gatherings.
- Your Event Venue
A flexible space for events of all kinds
Thornborough is an outdoor event venue in South Birmingham, available for hire by organisers looking for space, flexibility, and a venue that understands how live events actually work.
The site can accommodate events ranging from a few hundred to several thousand attendees, depending on layout and requirements. Organisers are welcome to bring their own suppliers, attractions, and infrastructure, subject to suitability and practical considerations.
Our role is to provide the venue, core facilities, and experienced on-site support. We work collaboratively with organisers to make sure events are realistic, safe, and well run — without overcomplicating things.
- Why Us
A venue that understands live events
Hiring Thornborough means working with a venue that’s set up for real-world events, not just open space.
Practical Event Support
We provide on-site support before and during your event to help things run smoothly. This includes venue coordination, access planning, and working alongside your team on the day.
Flexible Setup
The venue is adaptable to different event types and layouts. Organisers can bring their own suppliers and infrastructure, with all setups reviewed in advance to ensure they work safely within the space.
Clear, Collaborative Process
Every hire starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss your event, expected numbers, requirements, and suitability before confirming next steps and pricing.
Ticketing Options Available
For some events, we can support ticket sales through our website or agreed local outlets. This is discussed on a case-by-case basis and depends on the nature of the event.
Established Event Location
Thornborough is already a recognised event venue, hosting a wide range of public events each year. That experience helps reduce uncertainty for organisers and attendees alike.
