When: Thursdays, 19:00-20:00
Where: Thinktank Planetarium, Millennium Point, Birmingham, B4 7XG
Tickets: £4 / £3 (£3.50 / £2.50 concession)

Dome Club launches tonight at 7pm in the Planetarium at Millennium Point. But what is Dome Club?

Dome Club is a showcase for fulldome; a brand new digital medium, an immersive world of sound and visuals, the 360˚ cinema. It’s hard to imagine what it’s like – the only way to truly understand it is to experience it for yourself.

For more information and tickets, click here to visit the website.

In future, you may be able to do away with the hassle of buying tickets as Dome Club is looking into accepting Droplet ticket payments at the door. Another step forward for Digbeth!

The recession took another high street victim last week when HMV called in the administrators on Monday. In a statement issued by HMV, the organisation emphasised that the Institute on Digbeth High Street will not be affected:

We would like to reassure all of our customers that this venue was acquired by MAMA and Company in December 2012 and is no longer a part of the HMV Group. We are in the process of removing the “HMV” name from the venue and from all of our marketing materials.

In the meantime please be assured that the recent announcements in relation to HMV do not affect this venue or any events taking place here. If you have bought a ticket from HMV Tickets and haven’t received it please contact us at info@hmvinstitute.com

So it looks as though the venue may return to its original Digbeth Institute name soon… Whatever happens, we’ll be sure to keep you updated!
