Although not as well known as Manchester or Brighton for its gay lifestyle Birmingham has more than its fair share of venues.
The gay “village” firmly centres around Hurst Street.
Hurst Street is less than 10 minutes walk from the city centre (Victoria Square) or New Street station.
To ask any local for directions to Hurst Street avoiding any embarrassment simple ask for the Hippodrome Theatre.
