Gay Birmingham

Birmingham’s Gay Village has long been a cornerstone of the UK’s LGBTQ+ landscape. Rooted in the Southside around Hurst Street, the area began to flourish as a queer hub in the late 90s and has grown into a lively, proudly visible part of the city. Today, it’s home to some of Birmingham’s most beloved gay bars, drag venues, and community spaces, many of which have been going strong for decades.

With its mix of old-school charm and evolving queer culture, the Gay Village remains a vital and welcoming part of Birmingham life.
