What's On in Birmingham

Sea Life Birmingham - Standard Entry — Doors open at 9:30am at the National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham, making this the perfect way to kick off a Wednesday with something genuinely jaw-dropping — think shimmering shoals of tropical fish, menacing sharks gliding overhead, and the kind of wide-eyed wonder that works on adults just as well as children. It is one of those rare attractions that earns its keep whether you are a family hunting for a school-holiday adventure or a curious adult who just fancies losing themselves in the deep blue for a couple of hours.

Comedy Night at Zindiya - Wednesday 29th July 2026 — Zindiya — Birmingham's warmly adored Indian street food restaurant — transforms into a comedy club at 6:00pm, and honestly, pairing brilliant food with live stand-up is one of those combinations that should happen far more often than it does. At £22 this is a proper evening out that covers both the laughs and the atmosphere, in a venue known for its vibrant, intimate character that makes every joke land just a little bit harder. Get there early, settle in with something delicious, and let the comedians do the rest.

Weird On Purpose w/ Dusker, SQD & Bleach Fields — If you have not yet discovered the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath, this is your excuse — and what a way to be introduced, with three acts on the bill who between them cover enough sonic territory to keep any music lover genuinely on their toes. Weird On Purpose is exactly the kind of night that independent venues were made for: unpredictable, exciting, and brimming with the energy of a crowd who know they are onto something special. Doors at 7:30pm, tickets just £7 — that is an almost unreasonable amount of live music for your money.
