Why go

The Custard Factory is a concrete place to start exploring Digbeth’s reuse of industrial buildings. Its courtyards and former production spaces give the area’s creative economy a visible setting. Treat it as a browsing stop rather than a single attraction with one ticket: how much time you spend depends on the individual businesses you choose to enter.

What to look for

  • The complex reuses former Bird’s Custard industrial buildings.
  • Independent shops and food venues line the courtyards.

Useful to know

  • Check individual businesses before planning a meal, screening or activity.
  • Ask reception for the Digbeth map when it is staffed.
