Dry hire means that you only hire the space, without any additional services or amenities. While it might seem like a basic arrangement, it offers several benefits:
- Flexibility and customisation opportunities. Dry hire venues in Birmingham allow you to control your event, which means you can choose your own vendors and decorations. This way, you can create a unique, personalised experience that matches your vision.
- Cost-effectiveness. Because you only pay for the space, you can choose outside vendors and suppliers that offer the most competitive prices. You can also go for the DIY and BYO approach for an even more affordable event.
- Diverse selection of venues. Not having to limit yourself to event spaces that offer the services you need means more to choose from! You’ll find a wide range of warehouses, historic buildings, and modern venues available for dry hire.
Birmingham offers a great selection of spaces with dry hire options, including:
- Industrial spaces - Venues like lofts and converted warehouses often serve as blank canvas spaces, giving your event a unique feel. Check out the Warehouse Space at 50 Adderley Street.
- Function rooms & halls - Popular for corporate events, galas, and large celebrations, they are a versatile choice for your next gathering! You can rent a hotel function room like Dartmouth at Mercure Birmingham West, an event studio like the Simister Hall at Signing Tree Venue, or even a sports hall!
- Historical venues - If you’re dreaming of a fairytale dry hire wedding or planning a stunning photo shoot, explore Birmingham’s historical event spaces! Great option include the stunning Banqueting Suite on Victoria Square.
