National Conference Centre

National Conference Centre is a large, flexible event venue in Bickenhill, Solihull, serving organisers across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the wider UK. Positioned at Junction 6 of the M42, the venue is close to Birmingham Airport, Birmingham International railway station, the NEC and major motorway routes, making it a practical choice for national conferences and large gatherings.

The centre provides a broad selection of adaptable spaces for conferences, meetings, seminars, training sessions, workshops, award ceremonies, exhibitions, trade shows, private parties and weddings. Its suites can be arranged for boardroom meetings, classroom training, theatre-style presentations, banquets, cabaret seating, receptions and exhibition layouts. Larger rooms can accommodate substantial audiences, while adjoining suites provide useful areas for breakout sessions, sponsor stands, catering and networking.

Event organisers can work with the venue’s dedicated planning team from the first enquiry through to delivery. In-house catering covers delegate refreshments, working lunches, hot and cold buffets, banquets, gala dinners, BBQs, street food and celebration menus. The kitchen team can adapt menus for different event styles, guest requirements and dietary needs, while approved external Asian caterers are also available for selected celebrations.

Technical support is provided through in-house AV and production services, including presentation equipment, sound, lighting, staging, rigging, recording, live streaming and larger conference production. The venue also offers fast Wi-Fi, direct production access, extensive free parking, electric vehicle charging and nearby accommodation through sister hotels.

For weddings, the centre offers grand suites, substantial guest capacity, catering support and a convenient Midlands location. Its setting within the National Motorcycle Museum gives corporate and social events an unusual backdrop, with the museum also offering an additional experience for delegates and guests.
