Booked Upstairs Private Event Space at The Actress & Bishop
5.0

Yeah, really, really good venue. In fact, it actually looks even better in real life than it does in the photos — especially the stage area. With all the tables set up around it, the space has a really nice, intimate, cosy vibe. It’s right in the centre of Birmingham, super easy to get to, and we held our event there on a Sunday which worked perfectly. The layout was spot on — not too much walking or climbing stairs, everything was accessible and just made sense. Overall, the whole day ran smoothly. Everything felt functional, comfortable, and well thought out. Honestly, it’s a brilliant venue.
