Bank holiday closures
We’ll be closed for the August bank holiday Monday (25 August) later this month
C90 Choir is also taking a break Friday 22 August.
Registered address
Set up The Old Post Office in Stirchley as your registered address for a small annual fee (£8 per month), and support a small business by doing so. This means you don’t need to have your home address or private information listed on Company’s House.
We have a 25% discount on our registered address service for charities, charitable organisations and social enterprises.
C90 Community Chorus
Join Sounds Local CIC for Stirchley’s latest singing group, held every Friday (apart from Fri 22 Aug - bank holiday weekend), 7–9pm at The Old Post Office. Come along and sing your heart out to hits from ‘the best decade in pop culture!’ (the 90s). The group is open to people (18+), who want to come together and sing for fun, to make new friends, and maybe to perform the odd gig in public in future. Spaces are limited to 20 so make sure you book on - your first time is free.

We mentioned this a few newsletters back: Birmingham Heritage Week’s programme goes live from Saturday 9 August. Some events sell out super fast - such as tours around Bournville’s Almshouses. There are events all across the city ‘With walks, talks, building tours, family events, workshops and more, there is so much to choose from’, Friday 12 - Sunday 21 September. Set a reminder for Saturday morning.
Join Trans Pride for their first rally on Saturday 9 August at midday in Victoria Square. Come with your placards, your voice, and your trans joy. Via instagram.
This Sunday 10 August, it’s Kings Heath Artisan Market on York Road - ‘our market showcases talented local artisans, independent traders, and passionate food vendors’. From 10am-3pm, more info.

Supersonic Festival is taking place at the end of the month in Digbeth; Friday 29 August - Sunday 31 August. I cannot tell you just how much love I have for Supersonic. I can’t be there this year but please go on my behalf. Line up / tickets (playlist below)
