Choose by age, travel time and energy level

Plan your visit to Birmingham. Discover concerts, comedy, theatre, family activities, food, sport, student nights and local things to do around the Bullring, Digbeth, Jewellery Quarter, Broad Street and the wider West Midlands.

Compare the recommended age, session length, adult-supervision rules and travel time. A permanent attraction is a flexible backup, not a dated performance or workshop.

  • Check age and adult-supervision rules
  • Look for toilets, food and parking information
  • Keep an indoor backup for wet weather
