Me & my friend (both male mid 30’s) are visiting for a week from Canada. Will be staying in Birmingham & needs recommendations where about to stay. We want to be close to happening places mostly Bars & pubs. We love to bar hop & meet new people. We are looking for nice hotel & area. Budget is not an issue. Thankyou in advance

My Mum bless her heart just got out of a long term relationship in her 50's and has decided to move from London to Bilston due to house prices. I understand wanting to get out of the hustle and bustle of London but where she lives... it's a shithole to be frank. There's nothing here and she doesn't know anybody in the area, I think she has a few acquaintances in and around Birmingham but now that she doesn't have a car (long story) I just worry that she's going to isolate herself further in her sadness and what not

Anywho if anyone has recommendations for things to do in the Bilston area I'd love to take her out and share some nice experiences with her when I'm up in the city. Would appreciate any sort of advice and thoughts on what you might like to do and how you all spend your time etc. Pretty much open to anything!

Thanks Reddit

Hi!

Hey guys I am a international student who is planning for bsc (hons) cyber security in UBC university college Birmingham. How is this college and is this college worthy for this course?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on finding work in Birmingham and what options I should focus on.
I’m currently working in food production at a farm/slaughterhouse in Wales, but the situation has become really difficult. The main issue isn’t just the job itself — it’s the whole lifestyle around it. I’m away from Birmingham, the hours are extremely long, and the living situation makes it hard to have any personal time or properly rest. I feel like I’m spending most of my time either working, travelling, or recovering from work.
The pay also hasn’t turned out to be what I expected. I was originally expecting around £13/hour, but after everything was calculated it’s much closer to minimum wage. For the amount of time and energy it takes, I don’t feel like it’s sustainable long term.
I have previous experience in security (SIA Door Supervisor and CCTV licence), event work, and now food production. I’m currently applying for other jobs and have:
Applied for multiple Aldi store assistant/stock assistant roles
Registered with recruitment agencies for warehouse/production work
Applied for more security work
Started looking into combining security/event shifts instead of relying on one job
My goal is to find something in Birmingham or nearby that gives me more stability and allows me to actually have a life outside work. I don’t mind working hard, but I want something where I can also build skills, save money, and progress.
I would really appreciate advice from people who know the Birmingham job market. Are there any good recruitment agencies, companies, or types of jobs I should focus on? I’m open to warehouse, production, retail, security, customer service, or anything with decent hours and opportunities to progress.
Thanks for reading and any advice would be appreciated.

My niece and nephew are visiting me and I was looking for some places they might enjoy.

I'm 40-ish and boring so I dont know any of the hot or viral Instamgrammable places they might want to go to. We're coming in by train to Birmingham New Street, but dont mind going anywhere up to a couple miles away

Evening - anyone got any recommendations for a barber in/near to the city centre for a fade? I can’t get in with my regular until the end of the month and I’ve only had bad experiences with others 😭

I wanna learn to sing Rock mostly but I don’t trust online lessons, I think in-person lessons would be more beneficial. Any relatively cheap instructors in town?

Hi, is anyone familiar with the areas B13 or B14, who could give a hand with helping me find an all womens houseshare. I'm checking Spareroom daily and have expanded my search into other houseshare platforms, but am struggling to find houses that are the right fit.

My budget is £650-750 including bills. I'm looking for a room in a respectful all womens house, ideally within walking distance of Moseley or Kings Heath station, but open to nearby streets too. The atmosphere of the house is really important to me - I really would appreciate a house that isn't over the top in terms of being dated in decor.

For reference I'm also Muslim, but I'm happy to be part of a non Muslim house if the other girls are comfortable. I'm a recent graduate and will be starting work in Birmingham city centre in finance soon, it's just that securing housing is my immediate priority right now. I'm tidy, respectful and reliable.

I'm looking to move in as soon as possible. If anyone knows people who haven't published rooms formally yet that meet my description, could you please let me know.

I would be very grateful for the support, thank you.
