memorable and epic
There are beautiful, unique, convenient, memorable places to have events all over the Birmingham area. We love them all but can confidently say there is nothing quite like an event at Sloss Furnaces!
One of the things that makes Sloss special is simply geography. We're located right next to Woodlawn, Downtown, Lakeview, Southside and a short drive from every corner of the City. We are part of the 99 neighborhoods as much as we are Over the Mountain. People come to Sloss to celebrate together.
Beside providing a breathtaking backdrop, Sloss provides several unique features you can't find anywhere else. This page will provide a glimpse of what we have to offer. Schedule a time for a tour and see for yourself.
Sloss can host meeting in our bright, modern, conference room that seats 10 and provides all your technology needs. You can also add a tour or an iron pour to your day!
The East Room in our Visitor Center can host 240 people for a seated dinner or 400 people standing. Another room is about 1/4 the size, plus a beautiful lobby and patio.
What can we say about the Shed that isn't clear from this picture - or the thousands of people that have attended events over the last forty years? About 3,000 people here!
Outdoor spaces allow Sloss to host 15,000+ people covering our 32-acre site. Being in a commercial area has benefits in parking and not disturbing our neighboors at night.

Large gatherings can also be held outside around a beautiful Spray Pond, in the Casting Shed, or around the iconic Water Tower. Parking for up to 600 vehicles is our North Field is available a no cost, with an additional 50 spaces located at our Visitors Center.
