Things to do in February
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The shortest month of the year is a day longer in 2024, so maybe that’s how local venues are cramming so much in, but there’s loads happening in February across the Jewellery Quarter
RBSA Gallery
RBSA are kicking off the year with their annual Friends exhibition which runs until 10th February. We are also really excited for The Black Country: Photographs by Phil Loach 1970s – 1990s which opens on the 13th February for 2 weeks. Their art workshops are also back with everything from Oil painting to Monoprint and Collage.
Stryx Gallery
There’s a new exhibition at Stryx from 1st February until the 25th by artist Jasmine Lee called Lines of Incidence. The line of incidence is a phenomenon in physics where rays of substance hit a surface. Line of incidences also reflects a concept in geometry of two points on a graph; making a unique line.
Their free workshops continue a 22nd Century Collage workshop on Saturday 17th February. 21st century materials, 22nd century thinking!
The Coffin Works
As well as their regular tours and self-guided experiences, The Coffin Works are taking advantage of the dark nights to bring you a special experience with Candlelit Tours– the next one is on 22nd February and promises to be very atmospheric.
The Pen Museum
The Pen Museum continue with their mission to teach everyone beautiful penmanship with calligraphy workshops on the 18th and 25th of February. These always sell out, so do book in advance!
The Friends of Key Hill and Warstone Lane Cemeteries
Monthly tours of Key Hill and Warstone Lane are always popular, even when the weather is cold – the cemeteries have a stark beauty and are full of stories. There is also a volunteer litter pick every month if you want to help keep them looking beautiful.
Assay Office
The Birmingham Assay Office has been hallmarking and assaying for 250 years. There’s now a chance for your to explore every month during their Discovery Day – sign up for 23rd February now.
1000 Trades
1000 Trades isn’t just a place to go for a great pint or fantastic food, it’s also a place to see great live music, comedy and events. We are looking forward to Kamikaze Club Open Mic Night on 15th February.
Gulp
Gulp is a one-of-a-kind meeting, dining and creative space for curious appetites with a taste for the extraordinary. What happens when two of the Jewellery Quarter’s most creative minds collaborate for an intimate cocktail party? LIQUID GOLD is what! Coming on 1st February.
Gulp are taking an anti-valentine’s stance with The New-Unromantics – the perfect pop-up for individuals wanting outstanding food without the romantic clichés of Valentine’s Day.
The Button Factory
The Button Factory are kicking off February by celebrating Harry Styles Birthday with a fabulous Brunch. Tickets are on sale now.
Blue Orange Theatre
As an antidote to Valentine’s Day, Blue Orange Theatre are back from the 16th February with a modern take on the classic farce – Duplicity for Beginners.
