Islamic Seminars · Academic Talks · Dawah Lectures · Workshops · 500 Capacity · Projection + AV · 200 Free Parking
Birmingham hosts one of the densest networks of Islamic scholarship, academic Asian studies, mental-health-in-community workshops, and faith-based education programmes anywhere in Europe. Local imams run monthly seminar series, visiting scholars from Saudi Arabia and Malaysia teach weekend courses, mental-health charities run wellbeing workshops, and Birmingham universities sometimes need an off-campus venue for community-facing public lectures. LUXE VENUE has become a regular booking for many of these — because most other "lecture venues" in the city either serve alcohol, lack proper AV, or charge corporate-conference rates that small community organisations cannot afford.
Our main hall configures cleanly into a 500-seat theatre layout for major lectures, our breakout rooms work as 30-person classrooms or workshop spaces, and our AV setup (projector, screen, wireless lapel mics, recording option) handles lecture delivery without requiring you to bring your own equipment. Pricing starts at £550 for a half-day weekday hire — accessible for small charities, mosques and study circles.
Single-evening lectures from visiting scholars (Mufti Menk, Yasir Qadhi-style tours), weekend Aqeedah/Fiqh courses, monthly Tafseer series, Quran-reflection workshops. We provide separate male/female seating where the lecturer prefers this arrangement, wudu/prayer facilities, and a respectful environment.
Public-engagement lectures from Birmingham university researchers, history of Birmingham Asian community talks, geopolitical Q&A nights, climate/sustainability workshops aimed at faith communities. Often hybrid with a Q&A format.
Charity-led workshops on grief, addiction, parenting, marital counselling, men's mental health. Smaller intimate settings (30–80 attendees), often in our breakout rooms. Carpet flooring keeps the room quiet, comfortable seating supports 3-hour workshops.
Birmingham-based professionals (medics, teachers, accountants) sometimes need CPD events with Asian community-focused content. We provide a clean, distraction-free space with strong WiFi (200 Mbps), tea/coffee stations and breakout rooms.
Birmingham has dozens of weekend madrasas. End-of-year graduations, Hifdh (Quran memorisation) completion celebrations, and parent-teacher events fill the hall regularly. Capacity from 100 to 400 depending on madrasa size.
Authors of Islamic, academic or community-focused books regularly launch from Birmingham. We provide book-table area, signing station, intimate lectern setup, and audience Q&A format.
Weekday morning or afternoon (4 hours), capacity up to 80.
9am–5pm, capacity up to 200.
Single evening (3.5 hours including arrivals), capacity up to 500.
Half-day weekday hires from £550 mean a small community group can run a seminar without bankrupting its events budget. We offer 15% discounts to registered UK charities on production of charity number.
For Islamic seminars where the scholar prefers separation, we set up a centre-aisle divider with female section on one side, male on the other. Both have equal stage visibility. No "women at the back" arrangements that some venues default to.
Lectures often run across magrib and isha. Our prayer room with separate male/female sections and adjacent wudu facilities means a 5-minute prayer break instead of "everyone get in your cars and drive to the mosque".
Tea matters at Asian seminars. Our standard package includes unlimited tea/coffee refills (no per-cup nonsense) and biscuits. Hot lunches at £14/head are typically cheaper than your nearest Costa Conference and several quality tiers better.
Permanent alcohol-free licensing makes us the natural choice for Islamic seminars and faith-based events.
