Following the immense success of our first gig, Millennium Point once again partnered with a popular local acoustic duo for a feel-good Friday concert broadcast to hundreds of viewers on Facebook Live.

On Friday 17^th July, we invited popular local musicians, Jade & JP Acoustic Duo, back once again to perform in our multi-award-winning venue’s Platform event space for the enjoyment of people online.

The duo commented on the broadcast, “It’s great to be back in Millennium Point’s amazing venue space performing for all of you again.”

The performance included the titular duo sitting 2m apart on opposite sofas performing to cameras, which was then broadcast live through Facebook on Millennium Point’s page. The duo laughed and chatted with each other and viewers within the stream while performing an eclectic mix of popular hits from an emotional rendition of Dolly Parton’s “Joleen” to a high energy cover of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” originally by Michael Jackson. They rounded off the evening with an explosive rendition of “River Deep – Mountain High” made famous by Tina Turner, interspersed by singing happy birthday to several people watching on the live-stream.

The duo commented later: “It was a fantastic experience, everyone on the stream were really getting involved. The Millennium Point team were brilliant too and we were really happy they invited us back to perform in such a cool venue.”

This 90-minute performance has been viewed almost 8,000 times on the social media network, including a watch party by Birmingham Updates, with viewers hailing from Southern Ireland to Sweden.

Bringing people together, safely.

This online performance is part of an ongoing series of ‘safe and social distance” events and live performances hosted remotely and safely in our award-winning venue and broadcast online for people both locally and around the world to come together and enjoy. Coming next is a series of socially distant cinema screenings including Trolls: World Tour, Pulp Pulp Fiction and Sex & the City.

Millennium Point is an organisation which is, and has always been, about bringing people together. This has always been a core principle on which our organisation was founded; whether that is through the building, such as being the home of the renowned Thinktank Science Museum, through our charitable projects such as the small grants or fully funded scholarship or through the multitude of events hosted through our venue.

We believe this principle is needed now, more than ever. Friday was a great success thanks to an amazing musical act and the technology and space we have available. Now that our venue is open and normality is firmly within sight, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you back into our landmark building.

NHS symptoms of Coronavirus

Update: 20th March 2020

In a bid to help mitigate the spread of Coronavirus, Millennium Point will be closed to the public, with immediate effect.

In line with action taken by our tenants Think Tank and Birmingham City University, we feel that this is necessary in order to play our part in reducing the spread of the virus. The safety of our staff, tenants, students and visitors is always our primary focus.

During this period, our facilities, security, maintenance and cleaning teams will maintain a presence on-site and unless the Government insists on total lockdown, contractors will still be visiting to make sure that we remain compliant with our statutory obligations. As a multi-purpose venue, we will inevitably have to postpone a number of planned events and activities, with full details to be provided via our channels as we move forward.

What should I do to prevent catching and spreading the virus?

Students from Aston University’s TEDx Society have announced their first-ever virtual TEDxAston event.

What’s the event?
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

First announced on their website, the event will be held on 1^st August 2020 and centred around the theme of ‘Journeys’.

This virtual event will bring together a host of inspiring speakers to the virtual stage to share their own stories and how the experience of journey shapes society and the world around us. The event will also encourage attendees to reflect on their own personal journeys. Activities will include talks, performances, activities, networking opportunities and more.
Tickets are on sale now through Eventbrite. The standard ticket price is free and includes access to watch the event, followed by the “Exclusive Journey Pass” for £3.50 which offers additional benefits including Q&As, access to a networking platform and activities.

“Supporter” or “Premium Supporter” tickets are available for £10 – £30 for those wishing to show support for the not-for-profit, voluntary organisation and their work.

What’s TEDxAston?
TEDxAston is a series of events organised by Aston University students since 2013. Students range from freshers to PHD, volunteering their time and resource outside of their work and academic studies to design and deliver TEDxAston for the benefit of students and the local community.
The TEDxAston team of 20 students is supported by staff at Aston University and an advisory board made up of businesses including Millennium Point.

The journey of TEDxAston “Journeys’
The TEDx team have overcome several obstacles to achieve this event in-light of the Coronavirus pandemic. The team’s decision to move TEDxAston online was made in response to the uncertain situation of the pandemic.

Tristan Ripke, Student and Executive Director for TEDxAston, comments:

“The team’s decision to take the event online was a challenging one. We had to slow down at first to adjust to the new situation. However, we believe in TED’s mission of sharing ideas worth spreading and want TEDxAstonUniversity to benefit the local and regional community.”

“All the work is taking place from student bedrooms across Europe, Africa and Asia via Google Meet. It’s been a challenging adjustment for many members balancing academic and personal affairs alongside the pressures of the pandemic, which is why I’m very grateful to be working with such an amazing team.”

Why is this important?
Students at Aston University have risen to the challenge posed by COVID-19 and embraced technology to take their TEDx formula online. Not only does the organisation and “Journeys” seek to encourage education and discussion in Birmingham, but the journey the students themselves have taken demonstrates the resilience and commitment to providing opportunities for themselves and the wider community to learn and grow.

We’re offering film fans the chance to get up close to the big screen whilst remaining safely distanced from each other, with a series of popular movie events later this month.

Perfect for families, cult film fans and those looking for a fun afternoon out with friends, the venue’s giant Auditorium (formerly the IMAX cinema) is kicking off its series of screenings on Monday 27^th July, for the first of two showings of family favourite Trolls World Tour, ahead of the Tarantino classic, Pulp Fiction, on Friday 31^st July. The second Trolls World Tour performance will be shown on the morning of Saturday 1^st August, followed by an afternoon screening of Sex and the City: The Movie, complete with bottomless prosecco.

How have we made it safe?

The award-winning events team at Millennium Point has been working hard to implement new hygiene and safety measures, to ensure all government guidelines are met. The Auditorium, which at full capacity can host 354 people, will be reduced to 181 seats to allow for physical distancing between cinema-goers, and all seats will be allocated in advance to pre-paid ticket holders. A deep clean will be carried out between performances and all screenings will be contactless and cash-free. Specific details for measures we have taken can be found on each booking page.

Prices and Seating Allocation

Tickets for Trolls World Tour are priced at £7.50 (plus booking fee) and the Friday night screening of Pulp Fiction includes two drinks in the £15 (plus booking fee) ticket price. Bottomless prosecco will begin an hour and a half before Sex and the City: The Movie starts, with the whole package costing £20 (plus booking fee). Ticket-holders for the Sex and the City screening will be allocated a safely-distanced table in the large and airy Platform space, to enjoy their drinks beforehand.

Why are we doing this?

As the country starts to emerge from lockdown, we wanted to put on a series of fun and affordable events that appeal to a wide range of people, from families and couples to groups of friends. Cinema is a great form of escapism and watching films on our giant screen is a truly memorable experience, which we hope will offer a safe and enjoyable way for people to spend time together.

The whole team at Millennium Point has gone above and beyond to make sure we can safely adapt our spaces. We have a huge amount of experience in running events of all sizes, and our first priority was to make the venue as safe as possible. With the range of measures that we’ve put in place, we’re excited to get our events back underway, and can’t wait to welcome visitors to enjoy their cinema experience over the coming weeks.

With our 18th birthday on the horizon, we decided to take a look back at some notable events and highlights over the years so far. This week we are focusing on two key openings that help make Millennium Point the attraction it is today.

2018 – Platform launches after refurbishment
In 2018, we launched Platform, a brand new flexible event space which is adjoined to our 354-seat Auditorium. The official launch night was held on a mild September evening and saw the cream of Birmingham’s business world invited to see it ahead of reopening. With entertainment throughout the night from Elegant Entertainment, free-flowing drinks, mouth-watering food from the brand new menu and even an interactive mirror photo booth and photo wall, guests experienced the height of hospitality throughout.

Formerly the foyer for the Giant Screen Cinema, this level 1 space was transformed over the summer months into fit-for-purpose open-plan space. In addition to a new look and feel in-line with the Millennium Point Events branding, new features included a built-in bar, presentation facilities and dedicated AV equipment. Since launch, Platform has remained one of our most popular spaces and has seen a wealth of events from exhibitions, conferences and AGMs to formal dining, Christmas parties and even an eSports tournament!

Check out space on our venue page or you can book a contact-free guided tour by calling our friendly events team on 0121 202 2200 or via our online contact form.

2019 – MiniBrum rolls into town
MiniBrum has been a roaring success since its opening in Thinktank Science Museum at Millennium Point in May 2019.

Funded partially by the Millennium Point Charitable Trust, MiniBrum was created by Thinktank in collaboration with schools, families and community groups. It allows children under 8 to explore and question their understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) world around them.

The Thinktank based role play city, centred around the famous Old Joe clock tower, is truly a one-off experience and has been enjoyed by people of all ages in the months following its launch. From shopping at the Bullring to going on a barge down Gas Street Basin, Mini-Brum is as entertaining as it is educational.

Its 750 square metres is split into five different zones, with a phone in each so you can call and book a table at the cafe, an appointment at the doctors or the station to check if your train is on time.

MiniBrum will be back open along with the museum over the next few months, for more information please visit their website.
