Music explains this building better than its civic name alone. It was created for the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival and public meetings, and its performance history runs from Edward Elgar to Nina Simone. Seeing the exterior alongside the Council House introduces one side of Birmingham; hearing a concert adds another.
What to look for
The Grade I listed venue stands prominently on Victoria Square.
The Town Hall’s position links the views across Victoria Square and Chamberlain Square.
Useful to know
Look at the B:Music programme if hearing the hall matters more to you than seeing its exterior.
Pair the exterior with the Council House and the monuments in the adjoining civic squares.
