Independent Birmingham JOIN OUR REVOLUTION OF LOCALISM TODAY AND REDISCOVER YOUR CITY - BELIEVE IN BIRMINGHAM!
Retail BID is very proud to have over 100 independent businesses within the city centre. The thriving independent sector adds vibrancy and character to Birmingham and these unique businesses, some of which have been in the city centre for over 30 years are a key part of the shopping offer. Supporting and promoting independent businesses is high on the agenda for Retail BID and hence the reason Found came about. We are pleased to be working closely with Independent Birmingham.
NO.72
Independent Birmingham is a website and a movement which champions and celebrates the city of Birmingham and its marvellous independent businesses. “From the quirky bars to the quaint cafés and epic eateries, to cinemas, theatres and even barbers, we are a one-stop guide to all things independent in Birmingham - with the website helping, and encouraging you to explore the lesser known aspects of Birmingham and rediscover your city. From unearthing hidden gems to writing about the best beer gardens in Brum, Independent Birmingham is all about inspiring the people of Birmingham to explore their city in new and exciting ways. Having established the website in August 2013, in March 2014 the Independent Birmingham Membership Card was launched and now there are over 12,000 proud Brummies with an IBcard - using it to support their local economy and support an independent Birmingham, whilst having fun at the same time. The card is just £15 (or two for £20) and entitles you to fantastic year-long discounts and deals at over 85 of the very best independent cafés, bars, restaurants and shops in Birmingham (including the likes of: The Electric Cinema, Adam’s, Bodega Bar Y Cantina, mac Birmingham, The Plough, Two Cats Kitchen, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, The Wilderness, The Lord Clifden, The Jekyll and Hyde, Digbeth Dining Club, The Church, Cherry Reds, The Prince of Wales and many more!).” Joe, Independent Birmingham Here are a few of Independent Birmingham’s favourites.
