Things to do in Birmingham, England: The Best Classes & Workshops

January 4, 2022 Sheron Bogner

The geographical heart of England, Birmingham started life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theaters and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin or the fascinating creatures at the National Sea Life Centre.

Had a great Saturday with Rob at Birmingham Wine School at the HDV in Stratford. 13 wines starting with Champagne at 11am through 6 whites and 6 reds with a finish at 4pm. It doesn't matter about your level of knowledge of wine, this is great for anyone who just loves wine. You will learn alot, laugh alot and drink alot. I would suggest staying over at the hotel, which we did, as you dont want to drive after this day. There is an option of spittoon which none of us used except Rob Rob - knowledgeable and fun and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for a great day
