With the Barbie film set to be released on Friday (July 21), the popularity of pink places has reached an all time high. People are dressing pink, eating pink and talking pink - and Barbie-themed events are cropping up across Birmingham
Trendy cocktail bar Tonight Josephine is among the city venues hosting parties in honour of Barbie. Mockingbird Cinema is also hosting Barbie themed party events along with The Village Inn in the LGBTQ+ Village.
But if you are hoping to embrace Barbiecore you don’t have to wait for a Barbie part - there are several pink inspired venues in Birmingham already.
Not only are these great for Instagram, but their pretty pinkness is a lovely way to lift up your spirits all year round. There are several benefits to including pink into our lives as it can be a therapeutic colour associated with love, kindness, and femininity.
If you think that pink is only for the ladies, then think again because it’s just a colour that anybody can embrace it as a part of their lives in terms of clothes, interior decoration and more. Here are 10 pink places in Birmingham to visit:
