Autumn in Birmingham
Autumn is a great time to explore Birmingham, with colourful parks, seasonal events, cosy independent cafés and coffee shops and plenty to see and do. Enjoy the changing colours at Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Winterbourne House and Garden, soak up the atmosphere at Moseley Folk & Arts Festival, or get into the spooky spirit with Halloween events, ghost tours and after-dark experiences.
Birmingham’s cultural scene comes into its own too. Catch live comedy at the Birmingham Comedy Festival, discover new writers and big-name authors at Birmingham Literature Festival, or explore exhibitions, theatre, music and performance across the city. With venues and events showcasing local talent alongside national and international names, there’s plenty to keep culture lovers entertained as the nights draw in.
You’ll also find creative workshops and experiences, food events and markets showcasing local art, crafts and produce. Whether you’re planning a family day out, a weekend break or simply looking for something different to do, autumn offers plenty of reasons to explore
