Give Baking a Try
Eating out is something that a lot of us tend to enjoy. And although
enjoying things is generally good for us, it can sometimes not be so good for
the student budget. Having something enjoyable to eat that isn’t too expensive
would be a welcome idea, which is why giving home baking a try could be
something for you to have a think about. There’s obviously going to be heaps
and heaps of various books and pieces online with all manner of hints, tips and
recipes to help you with home baking, so maybe just find something that gets
you excited. And maybe find something that isn’t too challenging if you are new
to it.
Whatever you choose to do, the act of creating something and eating it after
should be fun and rewarding. It will taste good too, hopefully. Get some of
your friends and housemates involved and it can become an activity that brings
you all together. It won’t be too expensive either!
What a Laugh
Fat Penguin is a comedy night that is ideal for students as it not only
hosts a number of side-splitting comedians from around the UK to its stage, but
it also does not charge for entry. Rather than charging for entry, Fat Penguin
instead asks for a donation, with £5 being the recommended donation. Fat
Penguin is located in The Patrick Kavanagh Bar, Moseley, and is definitely
worth going to. See some quality acts, support the local comedy scene and have
a really good laugh in doing so.
The Sunflower Lounge
The Sunflower Lounge may not necessarily be somewhere that’s deemed by all
to be perfect for the modern-day student budget, but it’s definitely a place to
earmark for a possible night-out. The Sunflower Lounge has its own unique,
easy-going ambience, a sense of style and an atmosphere that you don’t exactly
find on every street. Sitting neatly within Birmingham City Centre on
Smallbrook Queensway, The Sunflower Lounge bubbles with an energy that one
might not expect from viewing some of the more grey-looking buildings that
stand adjacent to it. The Sunflower Lounge is both a great place to get a
couple of drinks with mates and a well-regarded venue for seeing a superb
selection of live music. Give it a try and it may become somewhere that you and
your friends return to on a regular basis.
Cannon Hill Park and the MAC
Cannon Hill Park is situated just off the Pershore Road, Moseley and is a
very pleasant park to visit, especially on a lovely sunny day. Having a nice
afternoon at the park might be a perfectly fine way to spend your time, and of
course, it won’t really cost you anything. What you might not have realised
though is that Cannon Hill Park sits with the MAC right next to it. The MAC- or
Midlands Arts Centre- is a diverse place that offers an array of courses and
exhibitions. It also has its own cinema, one that sometimes screens a more
alternative choice of films. You may just want to head to its café for a drink
or some food.
The Stage Is Yours!
Another cheap and easy opportunity for entertainment is Open Mic Nights. For
Birmingham students, you will be able to get to one of these Open Mic Nights
without difficulty, and with the range of acts being sure to vary, you can most
likely expect a memorable night. Go with friends, order a drink and maybe even
have a go at performing yourself!
