Digbeth is evolving, from its industrial roots at the heart of Birmingham’s industrial revolution to a modern thriving creative community.

Oval Real Estate, the owners of the Custard Factory and Digbeth Estate, have recently secured planning for a masterplan covering 42 acres; the consent provides a framework and bold long-term vision for the area that is centred around the iconic Custard Factory. Up to 2.2 million square feet of commercial space and 1850 homes will be provided alongside shops, restaurants, cafés and additional leisure facilities.

Join the BCO NextGen Midlands and James Craig from Oval Real Estate for a one-off walking tour of this fascinating part of the city. We will discover how the Custard Factory and the Bond Company will be re-purposed, how the existing assets will be re-imagined and the streets reactivated to build a vibrant and exciting place to live and work.

Food and drinks will be provided at the end of the tour at Zumhof Biergarten, with some of the Oval and Digbeth Estate Team.

Details of the route and specific destinations will be announced closer to the event.
