10 Concerts & Shows in Ladywood That You Shouldn't Miss
The geographical heart of England, Birmingham started life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theaters and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin or the fascinating creatures at the National Sea Life Centre.

We visited the Blue Orange Theatre to see "The house of the Baskervilles". (which I might add was a very funny production and I highly recommend it). The theatre itself is a lovely place to go. There is a little area at the front where you are able to get a drink, or coffee if preferred. The auditorium is great with seats gently staggered so that every one is able to view the stage. It is refreshing to visit the "smaller" theatre's. It is a lot friendlier with people a lot more inclined to interact with one another. I very much enjoyed my visit there and will definitely be going again. Well worth a visit.

I cannot believe how we have not been to this wonderful theatre before. Arrived with only minutes to spare, due to the work going on in Broad St and weather that didn’t help the situation. The staff were very warm, friendly and welcoming...a pleasure to walk in and be greeted with warmth. On entering we found it had a warmth about it, not as big as some of the theatres we have visited, it was small with gradiated seating, which gave good viewing all around the theatre. Poppy Fields the Musical was absolutely amazing, funny in places but very poignant, especially as Remembrance Sunday was the following day. Brilliant show and would see it again if ever it came back to Birmingham., a professional cast would find it hard to match this amateur production. Well done to you all for an amazing performance, on leaving the theatre the cast were all lined up where you had the opportunity to meet them...nice touch. We will certainly be looking at future shows in this nice little theatre, tickets were also reasonably priced.

Peter Pan was a fabulous show, with a great cast ...and a modern take on the classic Peter Pan story. A creative, upbeat musical and a refreshing entertaining experience. The theatre itself is a wonderful venue. It has easy viewing from even the end of row seats. There is easy transport access to the theatre from the new Metro line as it drops you off right outside. Saving local parking charges. A great night out to be visited again and again.

I was just visiting Birmingham for one night and was desperate to the Cafe, since I didn't manage to the last time I was there. The Cafe is about 10 mins walk from the Bullring, a quirky little 'cave-like' building, housed under the bridge. Inside, it is cleverly furnished: a warm, open-plan space with a well-stocked bar. I took lots of time to look around, because I was alone. I mention this, because it's relevant - I felt very welcome and not at all 'alone'. The atmosphere was lovely, people were friendly and the acts were great. If you want to feel relaxed, listen to AMAZING musicians, then this venue is for you. The lady who owns it, made sure I was looked after and filled with spicy patties. A wonderful night! I'm going back in June to take my friend for her birthday.
