Summer Party Venues for Hire in Birmingham

Your Guide to Hiring Summer Party Venues in Birmingham

When the midsummer blues set in you may notice a lull in workplace morale and motivation, so what better way to re-energise everyone than with an awesome summer party?

While not the greenest city in the UK, Birmingham plays host to a number of awesome outdoor venues, particularly along with its 35-mile canal network. This includes versatile party halls with loads of modern features, such as this Waterside Room in Westside, which offers a spacious and well-lit main indoor area, as well as a picturesque canalside terrace where you can take in the summer weather and relax in style.

Not all of Birmingham’s summer party venues are industrial, with the city also boasting some beautiful country houses like the Plough & Harrow Hotel. If you’re looking to add a more classy edge to your summer gathering, both of these spaces are beautifully decorated, offer luscious green gardens and terraces, and create a warm and friendly ambience for all of their guests.

Venue sorted but need some pointers for the big day? Here’s some top tips:

• Drinks - Provide a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks that will quench people’s thirst and keep everyone hydrated in the summer heat.
• Refreshments - When organising catering, summer specials such as ice lollies and cold snacks will go down an absolute treat.
• Weather - British weather is unpredictable. When booking an outdoor space, make sure there’s an indoor area provided or at least plenty of cover to protect your guests from the elements.

What should I do in case it rains on the day of my party?

This is the age-old dilemma with having a party in the summer. It is beautiful all week and then the day that your party comes around, so do the storm clouds. Most summer venues like rooftop bars will have contingency plans in place, like moving your party indoors to a function room or having a section of the indoor area reserved for your party. If these options are not available, be sure to include a rain date on your invitations.
