What's on...because it's not all work, work, work |
| If you haven't yet been to a Christmas pantomime then fear not as there are still plenty of these (and other shows) taking place in the coming weeks, perfectly timed as schools start to close for the festive break.
Our sister site BirminghamLive has created a handy guide to what's on at venues across the West Midlands including at the Hippodrome in Birmingham, Wolverhampton Grand, Malvern Theatres and Resorts World Arena in Solihull.
Among the shows are Dick Whittington, Aladdin and candlelit concerts - find out more about what's on here.
Just when you thought Birmingham's busy Jewellery Quarter couldn't accommodate any more bars, another one is opening in the historic manufacturing district.
Called Tabu Bar & Restaurant, it is launching today in an underground unit and will serve Asian cuisine and have live entertainment. Owners say the venue in Newhall Hill is inspired by the speakeasy scene of 1920s New York.
Staying with bars, one quirky venue in Birmingham has just celebrated its first anniversary. AutoBrew is a self-serve bar where you have to, erm, serve yourself from its range of beer taps bolted to the wall.
It's the boozing equivalent of the supermarket self-checkout but has obviously proved a hit with punters as the Custard Factory venue has held up well against the impact of the tram extension in Digbeth and is even launching self-serve wine and spirits too. |
