• Millennium Point won both Unique Venue of the Year and Independent Venue of the Year at the 2026 Famtastic Awards
• The Birmingham venue was also Highly Commended in the Conference Centre of the Year category
• FAMTASTIC judges are agency and supplier professionals who only score venues they have worked with directly

Millennium Point has won two titles at the 2026 Famtastic Awards: Unique Venue of the Year and Independent Venue of the Year. The Birmingham venue, owned by the Millennium Point Trust, also received a Highly Commended award in the Conference Centre of the Year category.

The awards are judged by industry professionals, with those voting only able to score venues they have a working relationship with. The results therefore reflect the experience of the organisers and partners who have booked and delivered events at Millennium Point over the past year.

The wins follow a year of investment across the building, including a new fully electric kitchen which can cater for upto1000 guests. Additionally key event spaces Metro and Curzon have been refurbished with upgraded AV to offer even greater flexibility. Key event spaces like Metro and Curzon Suites have been refurbished with upgraded AV and more flexible layouts.

Funds from every commercial booking are reinvested through the Millennium Point Trust into STEAM education, scholarships and community grants, with more than £40 million invested to date.

Rebecca Delmore, Commercial Director at Millennium Point, said: “Winning both Unique Venue and Independent Venue of the Year means a great deal to the whole team, particularly as these awards are voted for by the customers we work with day to day. Our investment this year has been focused on creating an enhanced experience for organisers and their guests. Every booking they make at Millennium Point also helps fund opportunities in education, giving real purpose to what we do. We’re incredibly proud of this recognition and look forward to welcoming even more clients through our doors in 2027.”
