For a weekend full of performances, fun and games, interventions and ‘art trails’ all around Digbeth, you must be part of the “Inside out festival” which takes some of the wonderful and admittedly weird happenings around the area  taking a strong focus on the theme of inside/outside and the idea of taking a day off to engage with art.

This fantastic new festival brings great art and music to ‘The Edge’ – Digbeth’s underground arts venue. A eclectic combination of international, national and local artists will produce together produce a series of artworks and performances
