UK PonyCon is taking place in the heart of Birmingham city Centre, with a huge variety of accommodation options.

Stay on site at Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre

Located on the same site as UK PonyCon 2025, the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre is a modern hotel located adjacent to the BCEC, offering 261 well-appointed rooms, free Wi-Fi, and on-site dining options. Staying on-site means you get to spend more time in the pony bubble and you’re closer to all the fun and energy of the convention. No other hotel is as close as the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre.

We are pleased to offer a discount of 10% off the Best Available Bed & Breakfast rate for all room types, including suites and accessible rooms. Note that the hotel has imposed a 3-night minimum stay for all guests checking in on Friday 3rd October 2025. This rate is a pay-on-arrival rate with free cancellation available until 1 day prior to your stay - although check the terms and conditions carefully. You’ll know you’re getting the discount because it will say “Ponycon Employee” (ignore the “employee” bit as everyone coming to UK PonyCon can get this discount).
