What is a modern Brummie?

Birmingham is the place many choose to call home. Whether you were born here or moved here for work, study, family, love or a new way of life, this city can brings us together. It’s where we meet to watch or play sports, shop, enjoy music and art, visit theatres, walk the canals, and share food with friends and family. From the high rises of Druids Heath to the Georgian houses of Harborne, from the Jewellery Quarter to Digbeth’s pop-ups, Birmingham is a city of people, stories, food, sport and culture.

What makes Birmingham your home?

Is it the music, the history, the food, the people, the places?

Tell us what you love, what makes you proud, and what could make our city even better... Let's start a new conversation about Birmingham.
