Digbeth Institute, Music venue in Digbeth, Birmingham, England
Digbeth Institute is a music venue in Birmingham with three performance spaces of different sizes. The main auditorium accommodates around 1,500 people, while two additional rooms provide more intimate settings for smaller shows.
The building opened in 1908 as a Methodist chapel and was purchased by Birmingham City Council in 1955. It was then converted into a civic venue and has served the community for performances since that time.
The building started as a Methodist chapel and has gone through different identities over the decades. Today it serves as a space where local and touring musicians meet audiences from across the region.
The venue is accessible and works well for different types of events. Depending on the size of the show, visitors can experience performances in either the large main hall or one of the smaller, more intimate rooms.
The exterior walls feature decorative figures designed by John Evans that represent knowledge and charity. These ornamental details from the building's chapel era give it a distinctive character that remains visible today.
