Digbeth

Defined by the
Rhythm of Industry

Once defined by the rhythm of industry, Digbeth is entering a new era as Birmingham’s vibrant new creative quarter.

Phoenix Yard breathes new energy into this historic area, a place where people come together to create, innovate and flourish.

Once home to an ironworks and later the Smithfield Garage, Phoenix Yard’s industrious spirit lives on through Bloomery, a state of the art, highly sustainable building which features a stunning roof terrace with views overlooking the city, in this exciting new destination.

Creating a lively and dynamic community, that ignites creativity at the gateway to Digbeth

Culture

Live Digbeth

One of the fastest-growing areas of the city, Digbeth is a revitalised, reborn neighbourhood where creativity, culture, and community collide.

From independent cafés and eateries to trendy leisure and retail spots, Digbeth offers a dynamic environment that inspires both productivity and play, with a sense of discovery around every corner.

The area’s transformation is further highlighted by the BBC’s upcoming relocation of its Birmingham headquarters to the historic Typhoo Tea Factory.
