For the first time this Summer, Birmingham Hippodrome will be animating the city by presenting highlights from the best in outdoor theatre.

Whether you’re on a day out with family and friends, enjoying a shopping trip or dining in an outdoor cafe, we’ll be bringing performances directly to you.

Everything is free to the public and happens over six consecutive Saturdays from 24 July until 28 August. Scheduled shows will also take place on the piazza in front of the theatre and at other locations including Arcadian Centre, High Street and Cathedral Gardens.

Our programme starts with a Vogue Ball, a day and evening of being seen, showing off and celebrating the performer in everyone. We will challenge our audiences to step up and step out onto the catwalk, release their inner diva and perform to their hearts’ content.

The following weeks will welcome raving grannies on souped up shopping trolleys, giant kangaroos bouncing around the city, classic puppetry, contemporary mime, juggling tennis players and international acrobats!

We look forward to the streets of Birmingham coming to life with some wonderful shows. Be sure to catch some of these fantastic performances  as you arrive or leave the theatre this summer or, better yet, make a special journey for them.
