Take a theatrical journey through the heart of Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter this September as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival.
Gem Of A Place taking place during Birmingham Heritage Week leads audiences through side streets past old factories and into some of the area’s most secret spaces. As you head through the historic streets you’ll encounter six dramatic stories each exploring a unique aspect of this distinctive area plus there’ll be plenty of surprises along the way.
Starting at the famous landmark of the Chamberlain Clock in Golden Square the show lasts an hour and runs three times a day at 11.30am 2pm and 5pm from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th September and from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th September. Audience members will also have a chance to chat with writers and creatives at The Hive Café in Frederick Street after each performance.
Gem of a Place takes place on public pavements in some buildings and the route does include some steps. Visitors are advised to wear suitable footwear and outdoor clothing. The Jewellery Quarter is in Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone and is extremely well-placed for public transport links and visitors are encouraged to use public transport wherever possible.
