MIDLANDS & BIRMINGHAM

Looking for things to do in the  Midlands? The region is packed with dazzling theatres, colossal exhibition centres, Balti restaurants, and shiny shopping malls. Shrines in Coventry include super-size-sports and music arenas and cathedral ruins alike. With endless ancient woodlands, heaths, and wetlands to explore, it isn’t hard to see how this place inspired JRR Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings. A culture performance, the latest fashion or just indulge yourself in an excellent restaurant? From museums, attractions and shopping centres to restaurants – take a look at what Birmingham has to offer and be inspired.
