BRIG Cafe at the Warehouse is now open in the heart of Birmingham
The new operators of what was The Warehouse Cafe are Birmingham Race Impact Group and will run it not only as a place of delicious coffee, lunch and cake, but a cultural and activist hub where discussions about climate justice, social justice, and artistic expression can thrive.
Regular opening times: Tues-Fri 0900-1600
This will no longer be the Cafe’s website but we will add a pointer to their webpage as soon as it’s ready. In the meantime you can contact the Cafe on 0121 348 7554 or cafe@wearebrig.co.uk or look out for them on their Cafe facebook page.
Birmingham Friends of the Earth who run The Warehouse (the community hub that hosts the Cafe) can be contacted via the website below.
Events and pop-ups
BRIG cafe space is available for hire for events and pop-ups and BRIG are interested in partnering with a wide range of activist and cultural organisations. The Cafe is a fully wheelchair accessible space and is also dog- and child-friendly. It seats up to 60 people theatre style (eg for film screenings, talks or plays) and offers dining space for 40 people.
Previous popular events have included the Warehouse Jazz Sessions, history talks and film screenings, plays acoustic gigs and open mics and a series of Co-school co-operative discussions on social justice issues funded by Central Co-op, book launches and more. The space is also ideal for supper clubs, self-catered parties and celebrations of all kinds, workshops, cookery classes and pop-up food providers (both the cafe dining area and bar and the fully kitted-out professional kitchen are available for hire). It would also work brilliantly for small beer or cider festivals.
Voce Books are still running regular events in the cafe space – check their social media for details of all that is happening.
Meeting space at The warehouse
Separate from the Cafe, Birmingham Friends of the Earth handle meeting room bookings for their meeting rooms and the Digbeth Community Garden. All our meeting rooms are wheelchair accessible and offered on sliding scale prices.
