Over 50 spaces for 60 to 600
Aston University's Main Building is one of the largest brick-built structures in Europe and located opposite the Conference Aston Hotel.
Available outside of term-time at Easter, Summer and Christmas, plus evenings and weekends...
The venue offers an excellent range of teaching spaces for external events, with large ground floor plenary spaces for 600, tiered lecture theatres for 80-260, and a wide variety of flat floor teaching rooms for 20 to 180.
