What do you do...

in your cultural life in Birmingham?

By cultural life we mean the things you do in your spare time. This can be something you make, something you go to see, or something you do. It can mean anything from cooking for your family, skateboarding in a park, going to a concert. Culture means different things to different people.

Birmingham Cathedral Choir and music programme contributes significantly to the culture of the city. The choir keeps alive the English Choral Tradition. Evensong is sung most Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays at 5.45pm in term time, most Sundays at 3.30pm and occasional Saturdays.
The choir comprises boys and girls from a variety of schools across the city, choral scholars mainly from the conservatoire and male adult lay clerks.
The Cathedral puts on regular concerts at 1.10pm Fridays, occasional Friday evenings and at other times.
The Cathedral Chorus is a “come and sing” event, usually twice a year, which attracts almost 100 amateur singers and an audience.

Where's your favourite spot...

to have a cultural experience in Birmingham?

Maybe this is a place where you remember something special happening before. Maybe this is a place close to your home that you feel deserves more attention. Maybe this is a place you have a personal connection to.
