About MacNiece room
20 Banquet
16 U-Shaped
20 Cabaret
The MacNiece Room combines contemporary design with practical functionality, creating an environment where productive conversations naturally unfold. Named after Irish poet and playwright Louis MacNeice, who once lectured in Classics at the University of Birmingham, this space carries forward a tradition of thoughtful discourse and intellectual exchange. We've designed this room to accommodate various meeting formats, with capacity for up to 45 delegates in theatre style. The flexible layout works equally well for boardroom discussions around our sleek oval table, collaborative workshops in cabaret style for 20, or U-shaped arrangements for 16 participants. This adaptability means your strategy session, training workshop, or team briefing can be configured exactly as you envision it. The room features a large TV screen positioned for clear visibility from every seat, supported by ultra-fast Wi-Fi that keeps your presentations running smoothly. Natural light streams through the windows, creating an energising atmosphere that helps maintain focus throughout the day. When needed, adjustable lighting and air conditioning let you fine-tune the environment to suit your group's preferences. Comfortable, cushioned seating ensures delegates remain engaged even during extended sessions, while convenient tea and coffee facilities support those essential thinking breaks. The neutral colour palette and modern furnishings create a professional backdrop that won't distract from your content. Our venue's location within the University of Birmingham campus offers a refreshing change from typical city centre meeting spaces. Despite this peaceful setting, you're just two miles from Birmingham city centre, with University railway station within easy walking distance. Free parking eliminates arrival stress for those driving. After your meeting, the 1900 Restaurant and Bar provide ideal spaces for continuing conversations over ethically sourced British cuisine or informal networking drinks. For multi-day events, our 185 contemporary bedrooms and complimentary Sport & Fitness centre access ensure delegates arrive refreshed and ready to engage.
