Ballroom Birmingham to open on site of old Carling Academy

The Ballroom Birmingham is reopening on the site of the old Birmingham Academy

The old Birmingham Academy is set to, once again, re-open as a live music venue in September 2011, rebranded as The Ballroom Birmingham.

Now under new management, the former Hummingbird and Carling Academy in Dale End hopes to recapture much of the its original charm following numerous revamps over the last few decades.  Currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment plan, the venue has chosen to keep its original name from when it first opened.
