Saint Nicolas Place is the stunning result of a unique project that captured the imagination of the nation. In 2004 two buildings of medieval origin on Kings Norton Green known as the Saracen's Head and the Old Grammar School were suffering from terminal deterioration despite the best efforts of local parishioners. They were fighting a battle against time to save the structures so important in the local community's life, the buildings acting as the venue for countless local social groups. The lifeline appeared when a group of dynamic individuals decided to apply to be part of BBC Television's Restoration series. The case was made for saving the buildings, and thanks to countless viewers' telephone votes, the sites won the competition. Funded largely by the viewers' calls, the Heritage Lottery Fund and English Heritage, £2.5m and a four-year restoration project later, Saint Nicolas Place is now fulfilling its potential as a heritage site, as community buildings and as a unique venue for corporate and private functions.

The modern and bustling Birmingham suburb of Kings Norton contrasts with its independent village-green history. Likewise, Saint Nicolas Place offers a stunning contrast of old and new. Tudor timbers sit next to glass walls, panelled wooden corners complement bright open rooms, quiet meeting rooms mix with lively communal spaces. To fully appreciate the achievement of Saint Nicolas Place, a visit is a must. Whether you come and discover our history on a guided tour, celebrate your events or meet your clients within our spacious rooms, or explore the site with your school classmates, you are assured of a memorable day in this historic Birmingham landscape.
