About this location
The Compound is a 12,000 square foot former textile factory in the Jewellery Quarter — Birmingham’s historic precision-manufacturing district of Victorian workshops, trade buildings, and small factories between Hockley and the city centre. At this scale The Compound is the largest hireable industrial space in the Jewellery Quarter market. The Kitchen at 120-person capacity and the Winter Garden at 150 people give productions two substantial spaces within the same complex. The textile factory origin gives the building an industrial-domestic hybrid character — large floor plates, industrial-scale windows, original factory details — that differs from the heavier warehouse aesthetic of Digbeth. The Jewellery Quarter’s street environment — Victorian workshop frontages, the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, the grid of small-scale production premises — adds a specific and historically rich exterior context.
