Join us at Nortons Digbeth on Thursday 18th September for a night of history, humour and Brummie pride with Birmingham’s best-known historian, broadcaster and author – Professor Carl Chinn.
Carl will dive into the real stories behind the Peaky Blinders, taking you beyond the TV drama and into the truth of Birmingham’s past. With his trademark wit and deep knowledge of the city, expect fascinating tales of Digbeth, the families, the streets, and the people who shaped it.
This is more than a talk – it’s a celebration of Birmingham’s heritage, told by one of the city’s most loved voices, all in the heart of the Irish Quarter with a creamy pint in hand.
