Eating out
Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or something more substantial, Birmingham offers lots of choice when it comes to eateries and cuisine.
The city centre boasts numerous high-profile restaurants and offers plenty of choice for anybody interested in Chinese, Indian, Italian, French, Spanish, South American and North American food.
If you fancy grabbing something to eat without venturing too far from the Gay Village and all the Pride action, then head for The Loft Lounge, Sidewalk or The Coffee Room - or even enjoy a snack at The Urban Kitchen.
There’s also a host of food outlets throughout the Pride festival site - many of which are offering healthy options.
Shopping
One of the great add-on benefits of making the trip to Birmingham for the city’s Pride festival is the fantastic opportunity it provides to shop, shop, shop!
The Bullring complex is Europe’s biggest indoor shopping centre, and includes the architecturally stunning Selfridges store. In addition, the city centre offers a wide range of chic boutiques, vibrant markets - and the world-famous Jewellery Quarter. If that’s not enough, why not check out The Mailbox, home to the likes of Emporio Armani and Hugo Boss, or just take a wander around the city centre - you’ll be surprised what you might find.
