Very impressed with our first time at cinema - small but very comfortable & staff member was lovely. Less impressed with restaurant- disappointed that the two items we chose from a restricted menu (mostly pizzas) were not available & we had to eat elsewhere. As new residents of Birmingham we think the MAC is an exciting and interesting venue.
The premier arts centre in Birmingham, located in Cannon Hill Park, in Moseley. On the day we visited there was a lively exhibition and we wanted to watch a film but the box office closed and it was too late to buy tickets in the shop. We popped into the recording studio which is well equipped and stopped for snacks in the cafe. As well as the cinema, music studio and exhibition space, there are also workshops and events space.
This was our first visit, and we were thoroughly impressed. The venue hosts a variety of engaging exhibitions that change over time, ensuring a fresh and exciting experience with each visit. The team is exceptionally friendly and supportive, and the entire facility is impeccably clean.Additionally, there is an on-site shop and restaurant, making it a convenient and enjoyable destination. This place is suitable for all age groups, offering something for everyone regardless of age.An added bonus is its proximity to Cannon Hill Park, a stunning location perfect for a leisurely walk. Overall, this is a highly recommended destination that we look forward to visiting again.
Modern facilities but soulless. The outside is an ugly mixture of unkempt functional architecture and brash, upbeat marketing decorations. Both the front and back entrance are not welcoming spaces, the latter from the car parks being quite narrow. The meeting rooms & suites, bar area and cafés look and feel up to date with everywhere looking smart and clean. A little too much so as the entire place lacks character or atmosphere leading to a sterile feeling. Display areas, even for the same exhibition, can spread out and one is in the small café making it awkward to see. Small corridors are also used not allowing the viewer to stand back from the display. The gift shop is stupidly expensive easily beating some London museums in pricing. The goods and books seem aimed at serious arty types and, although I'm one, I still wouldn't pay £7 for a fridge magnet. Parking can be a nightmare if there's more than one event on and impossible if there's a match at neighbouring Edgbaston Cricket ground. Be aware that the parking area is split into two so make sure you pay at the right pay station for where you've left your car. RingGo app works works well here though.
A great visit to Grayson Perry's Art Club exhibition. Well located, easy access with friendly staff. Great Coffee!! A fantastic art resource. Well worth a visit. The exhibition was well curated. Some items very moving and thought provoking, showing the wide range of British cultural talent.
Great place helps it was sunny. There for a training day and we're very adequately taken care of but looks like a great place to go for art. Lovely park.
Nice cinema experience at a reasonable price. Could do with popcorn but snacks are available from the cafe/kiosk. Plenty more going on in there but only visited for the movie. Some good art films on the schedule.
An arts space that feels welcoming and fresh! Set on the back of Cannon Hill Park it hosts an array of local and international artists, in its various gallery spaces. It also hosts live performances such as plays, and screenings of films. The main gallery upstairs is simply amazing. It has a gift shop, a bar and a restaurant. Even without visiting the various exhibitions it is a place you can simply meet up with friends for lunch or a drink. Would definitely recommend. Ps it is also outside the clean air zone!
