Im off to Birmingham City, UK....?

Question

probably after new years so early Jan. Any suggestions on what to do there? (i will be there for 2 weeks) Also whats the weather like around this time? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

The weather will probably be cold and wet. Loads to do though. Have fun!

Answer 2

Very cold and rainy. Definitely below 10'C, possibly below 0'C. Not much chance of snow- that normally comes in late February or March. I kid you not.

Things to do in Brum? Hmm... there's Cadbury's land in Bournville. They give you a tour of the factory, and you get tasters of different types of chocolate. They also sell odd shaped pieces for discounted prices.

For a bit of culture, there's the Rep theatre and the symphony hall

For music, there's the NIA, the NEC and the Carling Academy. They all have a lot of bands listed.

There's Broad street- the main 'going out' street in Brum- it's full of restaurants and clubs

There's Aston Villa FC and Birmingham City FC... you could visit those?

And then there's the shopping- the Bullring, for example.

Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham for more ideas... I don't know what they've listed- probably the same as me.
