What's on

A takeover event on Sunday 2 August, running from 3pm through to 11pm. Continental GT Steppers will commandeer the iconic arches beneath Digbeth, turning Lab11 into a full street carnival experience. Expect the kind of vibe that doesn't happen often in Birmingham.

The vibe

Lab11's raw brick arches are perfect for this. You're looking at an intimate-but-expansive setting where the energy builds from afternoon through to late evening. Street carnival means colour, movement, and that slightly chaotic-but-brilliant atmosphere where something genuinely unexpected could happen. It's the sort of event where people actually remember where they were.

Getting tickets

This is an 18+ event. Tickets are selling now through Skiddle — grab yours before they shift. Pricing isn't listed yet, but street carnival events at Lab11 typically sit in the reasonable range. Early booking is worth doing; these takeovers fill up properly.

Where to stay

Digbeth's in the heart of Birmingham's creative quarter, so you've got plenty of accommodation nearby. We've picked a few hotels within easy reach of Lab11 below — you won't need to trek far after the event.

Getting there

From London, it's just over two hours by train into Birmingham New Street, then a short taxi or bus ride to Digbeth. Driving from the Midlands is straightforward, with Lab11 accessible via the A38. If you're coming from further north (Manchester, Sheffield), a midday train gets you there comfortably.
