Tuesday
Work-It: Another massive night to put into your calendar is most defiantly Pryzm’s Work-It night on Tuesday 24th. Pryzm holds its own, battling the rest of Birmingham’s great nightlife for the title of best club in Birmingham, offering great deals on drinks and a night life you won’t quickly forget.
