Gay Birmingham — Your Complete Guide

Everything worth knowing before you go.

Birmingham's Gay Village on Hurst Street — the "Southside" neighbourhood — is England's third-largest LGBTQ+ concentration, a cluster of bars, clubs and restaurants in the streets between the city centre and the Arcadian Centre. Birmingham Pride in late May is one of England's largest, drawing 70,000+ people to the village and Victoria Square. The Nightingale Club has been running since 1979 and is the longest continuously operating gay venue in Birmingham and one of the longest in the UK. The city's size (1.1 million people) generates a substantial resident LGBTQ+ community.
