The Alexander Stadium is a world class athletics venue and has hosted many big Athletics events…read moreincluding the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix as well as European Trials and UK Championships. It is also the home of the Birchfield Harriers. Ashia Hansen, Kelly Sotherton and Mark Lewis-Francis are some of the members at Birchfield Harriers. The Stadium itself is a great place to watch Athletics and this place really is worth a visit. Alexander Stadium has recently had a £12.5 million expansion and refurbishment. The money has gone towards building a new stand which has a capacity of 5,000. That means the overall capacity of the Stadium is 12,700. So many of the world's best Athletes have competed at the Alexander Stadium and if you are in Birmingham and fancy watching some Athletics, pop in and see why the Alexander Stadium has received so many positive reviews.

With many different leisure activities available here, you are spolit for choice! The staff are all very helpful and so friendly. The only draw back with Alexander Stadium is the gym, its quite old and very small compared with a lot of other gyms out in Brum, I mean compared with Kingstanding gym, Kingstanding wins as it is larger and has more updated equipment, but it is still goodwhen it is quite like in the day. All in all, a great stadium with equally great staff.

And one drunken evening in Manchester watching The Orgy play we somehow managed to end up buying tickets for the new years eve party at the Old Yardelians rugby club in Shirley (Only 80 bloody miles away!). They put on a great evening,and everyone there had a great time bopping away and enjoying the lovely buffet that was laid on. A good mix of warm and cold food.

The Sportsman always has an excellent atmosphere particularly when West Bromwich Albion are playing at home. Visiting football fans I have spoken to have nothing but praise for The Sportsman when it comes to food and service. The pub itself specialises in Indian food. From chicken and meat dishes to mixed-grill BBQ's, these are some of the dishes visitors to The Sportsman can order. Curries are hot and the naan breads are to die for. Not forgetting vegetarians. There are vegetarian dishes available to order at The Sportsman. A very friendly place and you will not be disappointed if you were to visit The Sportsman.

The Sportsman is a well known pub on the West Brom high street and attracts local football fans and…read moremeat lovers alike. They offer a very popular style of indian bbq aka "mixed grills" and has far as the food is concerned they are pretty decent. The mixed grills have great flavour and are never too burnt but where they lose out is in their curries which at times can be bland. The place is split into two sections, the main pub section where many a football game is shown. I don't think this section has ever changed since it was opened and is really in need of some paint and some modernising. I absolutely hate coming here to watch football due to lack of decent seating and unobstructed views to the big screen. The second section is cafeteria style eating. Cheap tables and chairs laid out with yet more screens dotted around for football. Again this section needs tidying up. Going here during the winter is reminiscent of eating in a camping ground in the cold.

Blimey, this house is almost older than Brazil! Built in 1590, Blakesley Hall is a fine 17th…read moreTudor's building located in Yardley, Birmingham. After belonging to important people from that area, the house became a museum, in 1935. This architecture survived a bomb in 1941, had also several renovationsbut it's just incredible how architecture and history was being preserved for almost 400 years! I have visited this wonderful heritage hall once and the experience of being inside this listing building is like going back in time to find out more about Birmingham in the past. There is a lovely cafe inside the property as well and some tables outside, where I had a really nice coffee and a gorgeous piece of chocolate cake that brought me to the atmosphere of old farmers days. The admission to this wonderful heritage is £ 4 (adults) and children under 16 years have free admission. The access to the garden and visitor centre is also free. The Blakesley Hall provides several events during the year and it's always a good idea to check their website regularly to be updated about them.

On par with the heritage of Sarehole Mill, Blakesely Hall is one of the greatest pieces of history…read morelocated outside of the city centre. The hall is seeped in history and Tudor royalty, and immediately transports visitors back to this time (by smell alone for me). If you love learning more about Birmingham's past, and piecing together what the city used to be like, then Blakesely is well worth a visit for you! The garden area is by far the best part, as it is maintained to perfect the Tudor era through the beauty of herbs, lavender and other flowers from this time. The garden is great to visit in the summer, especially when the flowers are in full bloom. Inside, the hall isn't quite as exciting as I'd expected, and I think Sarehole Mill is definitely better with regards to my interest. There are very little props or descriptions at Blakesely, and I find the whole experience a little too simplistic. However, the small cafeteria is really nice and relaxing, as it looks over the garden; So you can sip a tea and imagine being alive 400 years ago!

I like Kings Heath park, it's got a lot going for it. First…read moreoff, it's a like a park of two halfs, oh and it's massive. It's like maybe two, three or even four parks in one. You've got the footpath that leads all the way around the park, which is popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists. This path will lead you from one of the three entrances right down to where the park edges alongside the trainline. How many miles this walkway is I don't know, but it's a good walk to take it all in. The path snakes in around the parks water feature which is really quite beautiful and is popular with ducks. There is also a tea room, tennis courts, a bowling green, basketball hoops, and two childrens playgrounds. This is a supreme park with large open grass spaces to boot.

I got some good and bad news about Soho House Museum. The good one is: this is one of the most…read moreinteresting landmarks of Birmingham itself! The bad one is that it's are closed for redevelopment and will just reopen end of June. Well, it's not that bad, actually. I'm a bit suspicious to talk about this fabulous house that it's also my favourite heritage museum in Birmingham. Soho House Museum was residence of Matthew Bolton and don't get confused, it's not about Michael Bolton's house!!! He was a brummie entrepreneur, inventor and founder of The Lunar Society, a group of thinkers that usually met at his house to discuss arts, science, philosophy and other important issues in the 18th century. The whole history about Matthew Bolton, its fascinating life and the importance of The Lunar Society for the history of Industry Revolution in Midlands can be understood better visiting the Soho House. This lovely experience includes seeing this gorgeous Georgian house itself , the garden and a visitor centre. The average adult admission is £ 4 and the visitors centre and garden are for free. They have other options of tour guided during this year so it's better to check the website for more information. As it's difficult to find a favourite part of Soho House, but I would pick the dinning room, where the Lunar Society meeting were placed, and its quite spooky cellar as the highlights of the visiting. All rooms of Soho House are perfectly conserved and there is also a huge collection of coins and his works to be seen there. The shop is also wonderful and the staff is very friendly. I already visited Soho House loads of times and I can't get tired of it. As soon as it is reopen I will be there again, for sure. There is always something new to learn about Matthew Bolton and his house.

Hooray.. Soho House should be open again by the time you read this review!…read more It's been closed recently for redevelopment but fear not as they won't be changing the key characteristics that make this place so interesting. Personally I think there's something extraordinary at being able to walk back through time and experience peoples homes from many years before we existed. This particular house was owned by Matthew Boulton (whose fortune funded the college in the city centre) way back in 1766. It will be interesting to see what development work takes place as they will be keen not to change any of the key foundations. I particularly like the dining room as I can imagine big banquets and jugs of fine wine being enjoyed. Opening its doors this month of the 30th June, there is a community day which is free entry so definitely worth popping down to see what they've done with the place.
