NEW YEARS EVE! FT Kell, The Father Teds, Ire-Ish, Scanlons Dancers
2025-12-31 18:00 - 2026-01-01 03:00
New Year’s Eve at Nortons is shaping up to be a monster this year. We’re loading the stage with some of our all time favourites and turning the pub into a full blown end of year party. It’s one of the biggest nights on our calendar and we’re going all in.
Kell are taking the 9.30 slot to get the place moving, then The Father Teds are on just before midnight for the big countdown. Anyone who’s seen them here knows exactly what that means… the roof usually comes off when they hit their stride. Once we’ve all shouted our way into 2026, Ire-ish are taking us through the first hours of the new year in proper style.
There’ll be plenty happening around the pub, plus a few surprises along the way. Expect noise, dancing, pints everywhere and that big Nortons atmosphere that only seems to appear on nights like this.
Tickets are up now – grab them while they’re about. This one always fills fast.

Nortons Snug Whiskey Club
2024-08-14 19:00 - 23:00
Snug Whiskey Club.

It’s a little known fact that we have over 50 Irish whiskeys in Nortons, with a gorgeous display of them in our secluded snug bar. We’ve worked with a number of suppliers to acquire every single Irish whiskey we can find, from distilleries old and new, even some very rare whiskeys from distilleries that sadly no longer exist.

With so many to choose from, we feel it is our civic duty, nae – a mission of national importance, to educate the great many people of Birmingham on each and every whiskey we have on offer. This is our rallying cry to the whiskey drinkers of Birmingham! Without much further ado – we’re launching our Snug Whiskey Club!

Every Wednesday you can enjoy one of our delicious whiskeys at trade prices, until that individual bottle runs dry! Help us sip our way through the Nortons Whiskey map of Ireland! £2 a single, and £3 a double which is absolutely insane! Once the bottle’s gone, it’s gone, but fear not- there’s another 49 whiskeys left to choose from, and you can join us next week for more of the same!

12 Hours of Live Music - Sat 12th Mar - St Patricks Week
2026-01-22 08:00 - 17:00
Saturday is where St Patrick’s Week really finds its stride.
From afternoon into late night, the bar’s taken over by live music and familiar faces, with On The Sesh, Rosie O’Sullivan Band, The Hurling Boys and Dan Roberts all rolling through across the day. When the bands wind down, Kieran Corcoran keeps things moving with DJ sets that make sure nobody’s heading off early!
This is one of those days where plans tend to disappear. You come in for a pint, realise the music’s too good to leave, and suddenly it’s much later than you expected. Exactly how a Saturday in the middle of St Patrick’s Week should feel, right?

The Six Nations season is here and, as always, we’re showing it all at Nortons!
This is what we’re built for. Big games, full sound, packed bar, proper pints and a room full of people who bloody love the rugby. Whether you’re popping in for a swift match and a few pints, or settling in for the whole afternoon, it’s the kind of day that usually ends later than planned – sorry, not sorry!

Expect Guinness flowing, plenty of shouting at the screen, jerseys everywhere (maybe even a few Nortons ones!) and live music before and after to boot! No muted TVs, no half-hearted atmosphere – just rugby watched the way it should be.

If you’re planning where to watch the Six Nations, you already know the answer!

Folk at Nortons: Seán Magee Tour 2026
2026-02-20 19:00 - 2026-02-21 01:00
We’re very excited to launch Folk at Nortons with a special live show from Seán Magee on Friday 20 February.
Seán began playing traditional Irish music at just seven years old, taking fiddle lessons from Irish music legend Pat McManus. By the age of nine, he was already gigging regularly, performing in pubs and venues across the north of Ireland alongside his father. A few years later, his siblings joined him on stage, forming The Magee Family Band, who still reunite for the occasional show.
At just 14 years old, Seán won 1st place at the All Ireland Fleadh in the under-15 fiddle category – a huge achievement and early sign of the musician he was becoming.
In recent years, Seán has built an impressive solo career, touring extensively across Ireland, the UK, Europe and the USA, including shows in Germany, Spain, Amsterdam and New York City. He also spent a year touring with Rory Gallagher of Rory and The Island, playing dates across Ireland, the UK and Europe, and completing a residency at RiRa Irish Bar in Las Vegas in 2019.
Alongside his live work, Seán has grown a strong online following, now reaching over 150,000 people across social platforms, connecting audiences worldwide through his energetic performances and wide-ranging musical style.
Expect a powerful live set rooted in Irish tradition but delivered with pace, personality and serious musicianship. This first Folk at Nortons night is about bringing storytelling, energy and connection into the room – and Seán Magee is the perfect artist to kick things off.

An Evening with Carl Chinn: Making Our Mark - The Irish in Victorian Birmingham
2026-03-11 19:00 - 23:00
We’re proud to open our St Patrick’s Week 2026 celebrations with a special evening in conversation with Birmingham’s own Carl Chinn.
In Making Our Mark, Carl explores the story of the Irish community in Victorian Birmingham – the people who came here, the work they did, the neighbourhoods they built, and the lasting impact they had on the city we know today. Told through photographs, stories and Carl’s trademark warmth and wit, this is local history brought properly to life.
This isn’t a dry history lesson. It’s an engaging, accessible evening that connects Birmingham’s Irish past with the present day, and one that feels right at home in the heart of Digbeth’s Irish Quarter.
A thoughtful, fascinating way to begin St Patrick’s Week at Nortons, and a chance to settle in with a pint while hearing the stories that helped shape the city.
Tickets are limited and available now!
