About this location
Birmingham Open Media is an arts and technology organisation with a virtual production studio available for hire in Birmingham city centre. Two minutes from New Street station — the key detail for productions arriving by rail or needing crew dispersal without vehicles. The green screen at 60-person capacity is unusually large for an in-city virtual production space. The stated use cases extend beyond standard green-screen shoots: live streaming, live mixed-reality, and hybrid XR production add a technology-forward angle that few Birmingham spaces offer. For commercials, broadcast content, and branded live events that need Birmingham’s address with production-quality infrastructure, this is the strongest technical option in the market. At £125/hr the rate reflects the specialist infrastructure.
The arts organisation context means the space has experience hosting non-commercial productions, community projects, and experimental work alongside its commercial hire activity — a flexibility that some productions find valuable when their project falls outside the standard commercial brief. B1 postcode is at the centre of Birmingham’s commercial district, two minutes from New Street and Grand Central. No on-site parking in this postcode but NCP and Q-Park multi-storeys are within walking distance. Booking via Tagvenue in hourly increments; confirm technical specification and available support staff directly with Birmingham Open Media for specialist XR or live-streaming work.
