An Evening with Carl Chinn: Making Our Mark - The Irish in Victorian Birmingham

We’re proud to open our St Patrick’s Week 2026 celebrations with a special evening in conversation with Birmingham’s own Carl Chinn.
In Making Our Mark, Carl explores the story of the Irish community in Victorian Birmingham – the people who came here, the work they did, the neighbourhoods they built, and the lasting impact they had on the city we know today. Told through photographs, stories and Carl’s trademark warmth and wit, this is local history brought properly to life.
This isn’t a dry history lesson. It’s an engaging, accessible evening that connects Birmingham’s Irish past with the present day, and one that feels right at home in the heart of Digbeth’s Irish Quarter.
A thoughtful, fascinating way to begin St Patrick’s Week at Nortons, and a chance to settle in with a pint while hearing the stories that helped shape the city.
Tickets are limited and available now!
