The Birmingham Hippodrome
I love the Birmingham Hippodrome. It's a great place to take all the family, depending on the show that is on. I take my grandchildren every year to see the pantomime. This year it is going to be Robin Hood, with the gorgeous John Barrowman! We are all looking forward to that one!
The Hipodrome itself, is a very comfortable place to be. The seats are not too bad to sit in, so not too much fidgeting! There is a bar, for those that like a tipple, and there is a place to buy sweets too [although I take my own sweets as they can be quite expensive if bought at The Hippodrome.
The Hippodrome caters for all disabled people, e.g. hard of hearing, visually impaired, mobility impaired etc.
The Hippodrome is not just for shows though, it has been used for different conferences and events in the past few years.
If there is a big group in your party, you can even arrange to have a meal before the show. The Birmingham Hippodrome will cater for that too.
All in all, The Birmingham Hippodrome is a great place to bring the family for a thoroughly lovely time out! Everyone will enjoy themselves, the staff are very helpful and friendly too.It's easily accessible from the railway stations at New street, and also Snow Hill.
Give it a try, you won't regret it!
