    Parking

    Unfortunately the conservatoire does not have its own car park. There is a multi-storey car park owned and managed by Birmingham City Council situated adjacent to Millennium Point. The car park entrance is on Howe Street off Jennens Road. This car park is convenient for all of our facilities.

    If you are using a sat nav please use the postcode B4 7AP.

    Car Parking at Millennium Point Multi Storey Car Park:

    Please retain your entry ticket on entering the Car Park. Payment is via machines located inside the car park building at the end of your visit. This car park takes cash and card payments. There is a cash machine available inside Millennium Point on Level 0. 

    On exiting the car park you'll see our music building on your right when you take the exit towards Millennium Point. To reach our Acting Department enter the Millennium Point building and take the lift down to the ground floor.

    If the Millennium Point car park is full, alternative parking is available at Curzon Street car park B4 7XG.
