Explore Birmingham’s most creative neighbourhood, Digbeth Photograph: Shutterstock What is it? Already home to the Custard Factory and soon to welcome Boxpark in 2025 and the BBC in 2027, Digbeth is Birmingham’s number one creative hub. Why go? Digbeth blends contemporary culture with industrial charm and has a thriving community of tech and design businesses, unique bars and independent shops. Pick up local wares and vintage gems at the cavernous Redbrick Market (wrap up, it’s freezing in there) then grab a Mediterranean-inspired brunch at Cafe Lovelife or pizza at Baked in Brick . When night falls catch a movie at the Mockingbird Cinema or live music at the O2 , followed by beers at The Ruin dive bar. For night owls, head to the club of the same name – there’ll be dancing into the wee hours. Don’t miss: Digbeth’s walls, alleyways and arches are covered with bold graffiti – take a guided walking tour to learn more about its vibrant street art scene. Read more Book tours 2. Fill up at one of Birmingham’s Michelin-starred restaurants Photograph: Carter's Restaurant What is it? Seriously good Michelin-starred dinners with a real range of price points. Why go? Simpsons , Adam’s , Opheem and – if you’re prepared to head just outside the city – Peel’s , will all bamboozle you with their culinary delights. But a not-so-quiet food revolution is rumbling through Brum – Riverine Rabbit in Stirchley and Tropea in Harborne were both recognised in last year’s Michelin guide . If you can get a table, now’s your time to sample the very best of the city’s food scene… before the inspectors bestow their stars. And for more of the city’s best food, press ‘read more.’ Read more Find food tours Advertising 3. Mooch around the Jewellery Quarter Museums Birmingham Photograph: Shutterstock What is it? Pack a full day – and night – of fun in this increasingly popular part of town, where you’ll find everything from exhibitions to nightclubs. Why go? With more than 200 listed buildings and more than 250 years of history, Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter should be on any Brum itinerary. According to English Heritage, Europe’s largest cluster of jewellery businesses is a ‘national treasure’. Museum nerds will love the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter , the Pen Museum and Newman Brothers Coffin Works . And with all the pubs, restaurants, galleries and independent boutiques here, there’s something for everybody else too. Don’t miss: If you’re making a night of it, check in to BLOC , close to the ever-popular JQ nightclub. Try Jam House , or if you have something even later and livelier in mind, Brum’s up-for-it generation descend upon the Actress & Bishop from about 1am, with no intention of making it a quiet one. 🤫 Insider tip: ‘Head to the outskirts and hit up Hockley Social Club , a food hall and late-night hangout featuring music and comedy shows, a record store and regular market stalls.’ –Lauren Potts Read more Book online 4. Satisfy your sweet tooth at Cadbury World Museums Birmingham Photograph: David Hughes / Shutterstock.com What is it? England’s number-one chocolate-focused attraction. Why go? Arrive by train (13 minutes from New Street) and take a deep breath – a sweet haze envelopes the red-brick, olde-worlde Bournville village, which was designed and built for the workers of England’s flagship chocolate brand. Cadbury World is the public bit of the factory: tours include a deep dive into the history of cocoa, a 4D cinema and a ride in the self-styled ‘Beanmobile’. Don’t miss: Have your Wonka experience in the demonstration area (yes, molten chocolate is involved; yes, you get to drink it). The world’s biggest Cadbury store also awaits, boasting concoctions unavailable anywhere else. 👀 Our take: ‘It’s our solemn belief that Cadbury World is not just for kids – getting to write your name with liquid chocolate is the most fun you’ve had with food since GCSE Food Tech.’ Lauren Potts Read more Book online Advertising 5. Fill your bags at one of the city’s iconic shopping destinations Photograph: Rob Greig for Time Out What is it? A marketplace since the twelfth century, Birmingham is still a city for shoppers. Why go? The Bullring is a giant mall incorporating the iconic Selfridges building (looking like a part-amorphous blob, part-crash-landed UFO), a flagship M&S store and a newly-opened Sephora, aka the ultimate destination for beauty lovers. Across town, the Mailbox takes things high-end with the likes of Harvey Nichols and the Castle Fine Art gallery. Don’t miss: Most interesting are the independents, which you’ll find scattered all over town and in places like the splendid Great Western Arcade . Read more 6.
