A Break from the Norm: Places to Visit in Birmingham


While you may be in Birmingham to study at university, it makes sense to make the most of the opportunity and visit all the interesting places Birmingham has to offer. Here, are some ideas of places to visit when you want to take a break from your university work; ideas that may be useful when things get a little more stressful. These Birmingham activities are a great way to enjoy yourself with friends and relax, and are well-suited to the student budget, too.
 

It’s also worth noting that if you or your friends are looking for student accommodation, Unihousing’s Selly Oak student studios and houses to share are ideal for contemporary student living. With their excellent locations giving you quick and easy access to the local train station and public buses as well as shops, supermarkets, pubs, clubs and restaurants, Unihousing’s Birmingham student accommodation offers convenience with ease of living at an affordable price.

Fat Penguin Comedy Club, Kings Heath

Sometimes all you need is a laugh to let off a little steam. But, with this being a blog about student activities, the cost is an important factor. Fortunately, Kings Heath Comedy Club at the Fat Penguin is both funny and easy on your wallet. It’s actually free with a recommended donation of £5. Bringing together an array of different acts on a regular basis, the Fat Penguin is pretty easy to get to and with it being so economical, it is just right for you and your friends to enjoy yourselves on a night that suits you.


The Oasis

For some people, hitting the shops is a great way to enjoy yourself in whatever free time you have. And, obviously, making some purchases is pretty essential if you find that the wardrobe is looking a little past its best. What you may not be so aware of is Oasis.


This market on Corporation Street in Birmingham’s City Centre is layered over various different floors, each with its own distinctive character. It is there that you can pick up clothes, jewellery, memorabilia and other items for reasonable prices. Oasis has a distinctly alternative feel, encompassing a range of styles and products that you wouldn’t normally find on the High Street. It’s worth looking into as you might find something that really takes your fancy. Even if you don’t decide to buy anything there, it’s an interesting place to just go in and have a look around.

The Custard Factory

If you’re not new to Birmingham you may have heard of this place before. The Custard Factory is a brightly coloured, fascinating mix of unique shops, cafes, a cinema and more. It is always a good idea to check what is taking place at the Custard Factory, as it offers so much and always seems to be such a quirky contrast to so much of what else is in the City Centre. If you’re looking for unique and interesting events, make sure you check out what’s going on here.


The Electric Cinema

The oldest working cinema in the country, the Electric Cinema is still a draw for those wanting something a little different from going to the movies. So, if you’re a little bored of heading to the big, shiny multiplexes on week after week, the Electric Cinema might make a nice change for and whoever you go with. Presenting a more cultured choice of films as well as the selections that would ordinarily make it to the mainstream cinemas, Electric Cinema also features special themed nights and events. Keep an eye on their schedules and you might discover something that you simply must see or take part in.
