New outdoor seating space for Birmingham city centre
A new outdoor seating area is being created in Birmingham city centre's Victoria Square.
Colmore Business Improvement District, which organises Colmore Food Festival, has teamed up with Retail BID and Birmingham City Council, and is planning Summer in the Square to support the city’s leisure and hospitality industry.
Victoria Square will be transformed into a new space, allowing visitors and those working in the city to enjoy their favourite bars and restaurants outdoors.
The space will feature socially distanced seating for 120 people, a bandstand for live music and entertainment as well as four beach huts with vendors selling a range of food and drink.
The space is free for anyone to use and will be open 24/7.
A full programme of summer events will be announced over the coming weeks.
