Not on our watch. Celebrate the end of autumn by throwing yourself into some of Birmingham's best November events. Grab your cosy jumpers and snuggle up as we break down the best of the upcoming month, from quirky quiz nights with friends to bottomless roasts at cosy pubs and German markets.




House of Allure

House of Allure is a pioneer in the Birmingham drag and burlesque scene – a collective made up of talented performers who champion confidence, diversity and inclusion. Setting out to entertain and educate the masses, they run a series of events from dance workshops to themed shows that are often critically acclaimed.

In big news: their sold-out show Worlds Away is returning for more sci-fi chaos on stage. Get taken on a journey by chromatic creatures and space dust showgirls before a wild immersive after party ensues.

BAD SANTAS BRUNCHAOKE BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH

@ Luna Springs on Saturday 28th November 2026 and 3 other Saturdays

Bad Santa is back with the biggest festive brunch event to ever grace the Luna Springs marquee, and you better be ready. For under £40 you can get full involved in the mayhem, which will involve a whole lot of free-flowing drinks and even more ridiculous entertainment. Bad Santa and Mrs Claus will be looking after you (badly) as you partake in games, mass singalongs led by the live band, and a 90-minute bottomless brunch that involves delicious food, cocktails, beer and prosecco. 

Expect prizes from Santa's naughty sack and absolutely no chance of making it home with your singing voice in tact. 

The Old Crown

The Old Crown is a firm favourite when it comes to pubs in Digbeth and rightly so, as it always has a wealth of events going on throughout the winter months. 
Head down on Tuesdays to test your knowledge in its pub quiz (£3 participation fee), and keep an eye out for themed activities and more throughout the weeks. 

Albert's Schloss - Birmingham

Taste of Munich Smorgasbord £45pp and 2 other offers

On Thursdays, its Kunst Kabaret, features provocative performances, and every Friday sees the haus band take to the stage alongside interactive artistes. 

The Toymakers' Grotto

@ Merry Hill on Various dates from Friday 20th November 2026

The plot unfolds as soon as you cross the threshold at The Toymakers' Grotto at Merry Hill: Santa's workshop is running behind schedule, and only Merry Hill's newest recruit toy makers can help save the day.
