Digbeth
Just a stone’s throw away from the Bullring shopping centre is Digbeth, known locally as Birmingham’s creative district. Awash with arts and music venues, galleries and independent outlets, this area of Birmingham is home to the famous Custard Factory. What was once the original factory of Bird’s Custard is now a working space for digital and creative businesses and an independent retail complex for the likes of the Mockingbird Cinema and Kitchen. In addition, Digbeth proudly comes alive at night, thanks to its range of bars and pubs; from The Old Crown, Birmingham’s oldest inn dating back to 1368, to The Rainbow Venues, which boast 11 modern spaces ranging from a 150-capacity basement room to a railway arch outdoor arena housing 5000.
