They say spontaneity is the spice of life and last minute plans often turn into the best nights of your life. And in a city like this, even if you’ve left every plan to last minute, or you’re sitting in bed wishing you were out, there’s always something to grab your interest. So whether it’s a painting class, a club night or an entire festival, check out our list of things to do this week in Birmingham and go have some fun.
@ The Big Birmingham Bake on Various dates from Friday 3rd December 2021
For a limited time only, The Big Birmingham Bake is challenging Brummies to go head to head in a battle of the cakes. You and a friend will be given 90 minutes to create the very best bake, before a panel of judges take a bite, crowning one team champions.
While on the surface it looks like just a charming, Victorian and unique venue, the Old Joint Stock pub is also a hub of art-based activity. Inside is a theatre perfect for performances, comedy nights and cabaret almost 360 days a year. So even if you just pop in for a meal or a pint of beer, you'll always find something to do here.
