Your weekday guide to Birmingham’s cultural life - in under five minutes. Handpicked arts and culture highlights, Monday to Friday.

Fresh from the great, confused laboratory of ideas that is Birmingham,* Outer Circle is your weekday shortcut to what’s on. Handpicked highlights of theatre, gigs, exhibitions, film, food and more - in under five minutes. Some of it’s big, some of it’s tucked away, all of it’s worth your time.

*Phrase borrowed from urbanist Jane Jacobs.
