Birmingham Pride is just a week away and the LGBTQ+ village is getting ready to go big because there will be no going home with this party in town.
On May 27 and 28, the Gay Village and beyond will be transformed thanks to Birmingham Pride - during which several performers like Sugababes, Cat Burns, Mae Muller, will be lighting up our hearts.
Apart from the several stages for Pride, LGBTQ+ friendly venues will have their own celebrations as well. So, if you are looking for an amazing party - the participating venues are likely the best places to head out to.
Not only will these venues have great performances by drag and other queer artists, special drinks, DJs and dance floor - they also welcome one and all because love is love, afterall.
So, get ready to dress up and head out to the liveliest clubs and bars in the heart of the city. And, if you don’t know what to wear - the Clonezone located at The Arcadian might have just the right outfit for you.
Here are eight LGBTQ+ friendly venues in Birmingham city centre:
