Days out in Birmingham

There’s oodles for young ones to do here. Like Legoland Discovery Centre, Sea Life and Cadbury World (doesn’t get much better for chocoholics).

And there’s even more in Brum. Footy fans can choose from Villa Park and St Andrew’s. There’s top-class cricket at Edgbaston. And intrepid adventurers can flex their muscles at Bear Grylls World (no exotic creatures on the café menu – whew).

Anything for adults? You can buy your better half something special in the jewellery quarter. Go gangster with a Peaky Blinders tour. Cruise the canals on a waterbus. Or drink beer and play pinball at Tilt (yes please).

Loads to do. Right in the middle of the map. You can’t miss Birmingham.
