As lockdown restrictions ease and our city slowly opens up again, we at Bread Birmingham are extremely excited for many of our best businesses and venues to reopen their doors to the public over the coming weeks and months.
We have therefore launched a brand new AR filter over on our Instagram page that helps you decide where the first place you visit in Birmingham will be after lockdown.
With so much choice of remarkable venues to visit, we have created this filter to show our support for our local businesses that have been forced to close due to lockdown restrictions over the course of the past 12 months, whilst also giving you inspiration for your post-lockdown ventures.

Despite the uncertainty of when they will be able to reopen, a trip to the Hippodrome will certainly be at the top of our list for a trip out in the heart of Birmingham.
Villa Park & St. Andrews
With homegrown talents Jude Bellingham & Jack Grealish all but cementing their spots in the England squad for this summer, we truly get the feeling that our Birmingham clubs are excelling in producing the next wave of sporting talent, all behind closed doors!
Just 2 miles separates these historic stadiums, and whilst the rivalry still divides households, social groups and workspaces – both sets of fans can agree that the sooner we’re back in stadiums, the better.
The Premier League and EFL are currently trialling the return of fans to return to stadiums safely, however, next season is being earmarked for supporters to finally be able to return to the terraces.
