Get ready, as the West Midlands comes alive with a summer of music, sport, food, and unforgettable experiences.
Sun's Out, Brum's Out!
Summer in Birmingham and the West Midlands is all about making the most of long days, lively streets, and experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
Whether it’s sipping drinks with skyline views at one of Birmingham’s rooftop bars, exploring centuries of history at Warwick Castle, or unwinding in one of the region’s green spaces, summer here just hits differently!
See the city from a different angle with a kayak or boat tour along the canals, where you’ll learn about the region’s fascinating heritage. Prefer to keep your feet on dry land? Enjoy a stroll along the miles of towpaths and discover hidden cafés, pubs, and peaceful spots perfect for a pause in the sunshine.
From the colourful blooms at Birmingham Botanical Gardens to the charm of beautiful market towns dotted around the region, there’s plenty to uncover at your own pace. Outdoor spaces are filled with delicious street food, pop-up performances and local character, making for a summer of fun you won’t want to miss out on.
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or just following where the sunshine leads, it’s time to get inspired. Summer starts here!
