Introducing the Launch Issue of Our Definitive Birmingham City Guide
Once the engine room of the Industrial Revolution, Birmingham has reinvented itself as a place of ideas, energy, and culture; proud of its roots yet always looking ahead. It’s a city that surprises: greener than you’d expect, friendlier than you imagined, full of neighbourhoods waiting to be explored, and this launch issue of our definitive 148-page guide is your key to experiencing it all.
From the glittering skyline of Paradise and the innovation hub of Eastside to the canalside charm of Brindleyplace, you’ll discover a city of contrasts and that’s what makes it so captivating. If world-class theatre, live music, and big-name gigs are on your list, Birmingham delivers. Craving food that takes you from Michelin-starred dining to global street eats within a few steps? You’re in the right place.
Across the Central district, you’ll find some of the best shopping in the country, while top-class restaurants and bars rub shoulders with centuries-old landmarks in Colmore. In Southside and Westside, the lights stay bright with theatres, music venues, and nightlife; Chinatown, the Gay Village, Jewellery Quarter, and Digbeth each bring their own distinctive flair to the mix. Venture a little further and you’ll reach leafy Edgbaston, home to stylish cafés and world-class cricket, or Resorts World, where dining, entertainment, and designer outlets come together under one roof.
This is Birmingham, welcoming, creative, and endlessly evolving. A city with character, confidence, and plenty of heart.
