Drag, LGBTQ+ nights and events in Birmingham

What's on in Birmingham's Gay Village: drag and cabaret, the regular weekly nights, and dated events from now into 2027.

The best nights to go

Friday and Saturday are the big nights: The Village Inn stays open until 6am on Friday and 8am on Saturday, Glamorous runs from 10pm to 6am, and the Nightingale opens Thursday to Saturday. Thursday is busy too, with £1 drinks at Sidewalk's Pink Pounder and the Nightingale's Thursday night. Nights usually start on Hurst Street and the bars just off it, such as Missing on Bromsgrove Street, before moving to the clubs.
