Planning a fun day out or weekend away with your mates in Birmingham? Whether you're organising a hen do, stag party, birthday, or just looking for a reason to get together with friends, the city is packed with unique, hands-on experiences that go beyond the usual bottomless brunch.
Here’s a guide to some of the best group-friendly activities in Birmingham.
1. Make something new: creative group activities

Swap the predictable pub crawl for a workshop that gets everyone chatting and creating.
- Wine glass painting - relaxed, great for mixed groups, and everyone goes home with something they made.
- Pottery wheel workshop - surprisingly therapeutic, this is perfect for beginners and clay-lovers alike.
- Make a hanging plant - a unique workshop option for green-fingered friends.
- Flower arranging - discover the art of creating a long-lasting bouquet.
Top tip: Many of these experiences offer BYOB or private bookings for groups, perfect for a more personalised party.
2. Bottomless brunch? We can do better!

Yes, bottomless brunch is a classic - but Birmingham’s food and drink scene has so much more to offer.
- Bottomless cocktails & Indian food – you can still enjoy the joy of bottomless brunch but with a tasty street-food twist!
- Chocolate making workshop - learn how to make your own belgian chocolate truffles.
- Bottomless macaroon tasting - taste your way through an incredible selection!
- Cocktail masterclass - learn the tricks behind your favourite drinks and enjoy the end results.
3. Get moving and grooving

If your group is up for a bit of execrise (or maybe a little friendly competiton), these experiences are ready for you:
- Rage painting - every bit as fun, competitive and silly as it sounds!
- Rock-climbing taster - if you've never given climbing a try, now is your chance.
- Circus skills experience - master circus skills, learn some tricks and enjoy the view from way up high.
Planning tip: Book experiences that work around other plans - a morning session before lunch or something active before dinner and drinks.
4. Outdoorsy vibes without leaving the city
