Parks and Sports
Birmingham's main park (though Kings Heath has lots of others). There's a couple of large children's playgrounds, a boating lake, a small fairground and an excellent mini golf course (well - two courses). Obviously there's more than enough space to run around and the park is great for a jog in the morning. If you can get to the bandstand near the crazy golf course by 9am on a Saturday you can join hundreds of other for a free 5k park run. The MAC (Midlands Art Centre) is also based in the park. It often has a free exhibition and there's a cafe and a bar - oh ! and a cinema. You can book other activities. Kids entertainment tends to sell out fast.

It's for cricket! Tip: you can park for free on Queensbridge road and it's a 15 min walk - anything nearer gets coned off on match days.

THE live music venue in Birmingham. Duran Duran started out playing here. There's two stages upstairs and two bars downstairs. No food is served and it's quiet during the day. A beautiful and huge Victorian pub

In the heart of the city. You can take canal boat trips near here too. It's a bit pricey but there's nothing quite like it.
