What an amazing day in this lovely venue. Reinvented from the old Birds custard factory into a hive of bars, restaurants and art galleries with a big open "warehouse" space which Les Mills UK hired for a fitness experience. Loved it. This area of Digbeth is getting a complete makeover, it's up and coming.
This place is a gem. Definitely worth a visit. Awesome graffiti murals, really cool bars and restaurants. Will definitely return.
The Custard Factory is great for taking in Birmingham's wide variety of street art. The work is colourful and extremely impressive. There are several small shops, coffee shops & restaurants but it really is worth the short walk from Birmingham centre just for the art.
The area generally is greatly improved with many interesting places to eat and /or to have coffee. It is just a very short walk from the centre of Birminham, and the graffiti art is well worth a look if you are in the area.
Cute shopping centre seems a bit empty but nice decor if you like minimalistic styles.
I abseiled down this building for charity! The views from the top are great! The entrance had funky art pieces recessed in the wall which looked really cool, We had access to a room inside but other than that I saw more of the outside as we scaled down the building. The building itself is really cool and in a really cool area full of great places to eat and drink.
Went here today for the 'Cheese Fest at Custard Factory' and it was really good!! Lots of different good stalls and plenty of cheese varieties. Considering it was £5 ticket it was well worth it and didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was good and food stalls were lush 😍

Attended charity fundraising abseil on behalf of Birmingham Parkinson's Society, using the Custard Factory's Greenhouse wall on Gibb Street, Digbeth.
Safety was to the fore, with stringent measures in place on the ground, on the roof & for every abseiler.
Abseilers went up the elevator to the roof in small groups, providing enthusiastic support as one by one they went over the edge & down the wall.
Excellent training & guidance provided by abseil pros.
Fascinating area around the Custard Factory, with many arty cafés, restaurants & shops, the area also famous for its graffiti artwork.
Original cobbles cause difficulties for those of us with mobility issues (I changed shoes 3 times) but fortunately found a small car park with a single disabled parking spot (!) on Gibb Street itself.
Suggest checking parking prior to arriving in the area, a mix of narrow 1-way streets, broader streets with on-street parking, & larger car parks a little further from the centre.
The Custard Factory itself wasn't open. A shame as I'd have loved to explore the history of the area further.
The venue was lovley and spacious .The staff welcome and supportive and fellow venders were friendly
The public support was amazing
Free WiFi would have been nice though.But did manage with my own.
Great area, a lot to do and explore. Some really interesting concepts - a sustainable opticians, a self-serve bar, some really skilful salons, and a few great places to grab a coffee or a bite to eat. Definitely worth exploring the area, especially on days when there are events on.
