Go all Tolkein at Perrott's Folly.
Commissioned in 1758 by the wealthy and eccentric land-owner John Perrott this tower is rumoured to have inspired a young Brummie, J.R.R. Tolkien, to create the tower of Minas Tirith in the Lord of The Rings.
Keep you eye on Hidden Spaces as they do occasional beer tastings from the top, in conjunction with Brum's aptly named Two Towers Brewery.

Wander through the tunnels beneath the Mailbox.
There's a 400m underground connection between what was the Royal Mail sorting office (now the Mailbox shopping destination) and New Street Station.
It's now largely closed off to the public, but Brum's revealers of all things concealed, Hidden Spaces, are running a competition that could get you down there.

Dine at Purnell's.
We've got Michelin stars coming out of our ears in Brum, but if you visit just one holder of that finest of foodie gongs before shuffling off this mortal coil, make it Purnell's.
The most playful dishes with emerge from the kitchen with the standout monkfish masala being an immaculate nod to the city’s history of South Asian cuisine.
