Four fun things to do in Birmingham this weekend

Winter Garden at The Old Crown

The team at Birmingham’s oldest pub have opened their gates to the public with a free Winter Garden. The Old Crown in Digbeth is setting the stage to get people into the festive spirit with a range of events which are open for free for all to enjoy.

These include the likes of Christmas quizzes, live music, DJs every weekend, and there will even be a Peep Show themed quiz and an alternative Christmas Party. All of this takes place in a heated and covered garden to make sure you stay warm and dry while enjoying the festivities. For more information go to The Old Crown
