Make a day or evening of it
If you are travelling to Birmingham and fancy extending the networking beyond the lunch, there will be plenty to do in the city. There will be a Christmas Market in the square outside the venue, complete with a two storey bar, providing an ideal festive stop after lunch. There will also be a German Market in the city, along with plenty of bars and other entertainment options.
For something a little more competitive, Flight Club offers interactive darts and seven multiplayer games, while Roxy Ball Room has a range of activities including pool and shuffleboard.
So, whether you are looking to continue the networking, enjoy a few festive drinks or simply have some fun with colleagues and friends, Birmingham has plenty to offer.
