Iron House Event Hire

The Iron House is an event space in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham which caters to weddings, corporate events and celebrations. The building is steeped in history; the earliest records of The Lambourne dates back to a pawnhouse being run by a Miss Ann Webb in 1850. Mackey Charles opened his brass foundry in what is now the atrium gallery which sold hosiery, jewellery and sundries. In the 20th century the building had a variety of occupations as the Jewellery Quarter evolved as an area, going from a factory in World War II to help the war effort to an underground nightclub complete with the whole building being painted black.

Nowadays the Iron House is a venue whose mission is to enable and empower the local community to utilise its unique environment. There are a variety of spaces available for events throughout the venue, from the Gallery and Lounge Bars to three beautiful spaces which can hold a variety of events. Downstairs, the basement is equipped with mood lighting and seating to make a novel space for client presentations, art installations among other functions.

We are proud to deliver event hire to the Iron House. Some of the items we can deliver include:

The Iron House in Birmingham hosts weddings, corporate functions, and private celebrations within its historic Jewellery Quarter premises. Due to the industrial nature of the building, clients often require robust furniture that matches the aesthetic, such as cross-back chairs or rustic wooden trestle tables. For dining setups, we provide essential catering equipment including convection ovens, hot cupboards, and stainless steel prep tables. We also supply glassware, cutlery, and linen that fit the venue's capacity, helping organisers create a functional floor plan for guests.

When planning an event at The Iron House, consider the layout of the atrium gallery and the potential for restricted access in older buildings. Measure your floor space carefully before ordering tables to maintain enough room for service staff to move around. We recommend calculating your guest count early to determine the exact number of chairs and place settings required. Keep in mind that heavy catering equipment may require specific power access, so check the electrical capacity of the room before confirming your order.
