What's On in Birmingham

Cadbury World - Standard Entry — Kick the day off on the sweetest possible note with a visit to Cadbury World, one of Birmingham's most beloved attractions and a genuine delight for families, chocolate obsessives, and anyone who has ever unwrapped a Dairy Milk with serious reverence. Doors open at 10:00am, giving you the whole morning to immerse yourself in the story of cocoa, watch chocolate being made, and — crucially — eat far more than is strictly sensible. Check the website for ticket prices and availability, and book ahead because this one fills up fast.

Reggae Bingo - Birmingham - Fri 25th Sept — Bingo gets a serious glow-up at Sector 57, where the numbers are called over a soundtrack of classic reggae bangers and the whole room turns into a party whether you win or not. Starting at 7:00pm and priced at £16–£20, it is one of those nights that brings together people who would never usually share a dancefloor — and somehow it always works. Bring your best competitive spirit, your worst dance moves, and a very open mind.

Antidotes — Dead Wax is one of Birmingham's finest intimate music venues, and on Friday night it plays host to Antidotes at 7:00pm — a live music show that promises the kind of up-close, no-barriers performance that reminds you why you fell in love with live music in the first place. At just £10, this is exceptional value for a night spent pressed up against something genuinely exciting. Get there early, grab a drink, and let the room do the rest.

I Love Acid feat. Luke Vibert, Nightwave & Posthuman — The Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath pulls double duty tonight — first hosting The Grateful Dudes earlier in the evening, then transforming into an acid house pilgrimage site when I Love Acid takes over at 9:00pm. Luke Vibert is a genuine legend of electronic music, and sharing a bill with Nightwave and Posthuman makes this a dream ticket for anyone who loves squelchy 303 basslines and a dancefloor that smells faintly of decades of brilliant nights. At just £5–£12, it might be the best value ticket in the city tonight.

MODUL8 x A*S*Y*S - 100% Techno 0% Compromise — If the name alone does not make your heart race then techno might not be for you — but if it does, clear your Saturday morning plans and head to Tunnel Club Birmingham at 10:00pm for what promises to be an absolutely uncompromising night of hard, focused, relentless techno. A*S*Y*S is a heavyweight name in the European scene, and MODUL8 know exactly how to frame that kind of raw energy in a room that was built for it. Tickets run from £14–£42, so grab the early bird and get ready to disappear into the dark.

Jawani Nights - Panjabi Boiler Room Rave — Forum Digbeth has become one of the most exciting late-night spaces in Birmingham, and Jawani Nights arrives at 10:30pm with a concept that is as simple as it is thrilling — imagine the raw, packed intensity of a Boiler Room set, but built entirely around Panjabi music and the communities that have always made it electric. It is the kind of night that feels genuinely specific and yet utterly universal the moment you walk through the door. Check the website for ticket details and do not sleep on this one.
