Thirteen things to do in Birmingham and beyond in November 2021

We are swiftly getting towards the end of 2021 and with events still happening comfortably, its been reassuring to be able to attend things in person. With that in mind, here are thirteen things to do in Birmingham and beyond in November 2021.

Describing themselves as Wine Mavericks, Vagabond offer self pouring wine dispensing plus small plates of food including Chorizo, Croquettes and Arancini plus Cheese and Cured Meat sharing plates.

Blood Brothers (2nd to 13th November)

Very few West End shows have endured as well as Blood Brothers and with its universal themes of class, struggling and fighting through challenging times, it has drawn audiences back to the tour for many years.

Scream Phone (3rd to 6th November)

The Old Joint Stock, 4 Temple Row West, Birmingham B2 5NY

Ice Skate Birmingham (4th November to 9th January)

Centenary Square, Broad Street, B1 2ND

I’m still sulking that the old Silver Blades/Planet Ice has gone from Pershore Street and whilst I’ve been to Solihull Ice Rink many times over the years. The covered space of Ice Skate Birmingham offers a great location and fun space to skate for its sessions which start on the hour. There’s also a big wheel and a tower ride to look over the new buildings of the start of Broad Street right beside it.

I’m really looking forward to playing in Birmingham. I’m really excited about the programme it has lots of Rachmaninoff on there. I’ll also be playing two classical sonatas which I love, a Mozart and a Beethoven.

There’s also a new commission being written for the programme which I’m really excited about, because it’s always wonderful playing new music.
