Birmingham Young Professionals

## Day Trip to Shrewsbury

Come and join us for a relaxed day trip around Shrewsbury. We’ll visit some of the key sights in this beautiful historic town, stop for lunch, and enjoy a drink or two along the way.
Shrewsbury can be reached directly by train from Birmingham New Street Station, making it an easy day out from Birmingham.

We’re a friendly and inclusive group, and newcomers are always very welcome.

I’ll have a rough plan for the day, although I may make a few small changes depending on timings, weather and group numbers.

12:00–1:00pm – Meet and mingle at The Royal Oak

1:00–2:30pm – Explore some of Shrewsbury’s main sights,
including the castle grounds, exterior of Shrewsbury Prison, town centre, Darwin Statue and Library

2:30–3:30pm – Lunch at Bella Napoli
Depending on numbers, we may need to split into smaller groups for lunch.

From 3:30pm – Final drinks and then people are free to head home or continue exploring Shrewsbury.

Come along for a sociable afternoon of sightseeing, food and drinks.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Love electronic dance music? Come and join us for a night at AFTA DARK at LAB11, one of Birmingham’s best-known late-night spots for underground electronic music.
This meetup is for anyone who loves EDM in all its forms — whether you’re into trance, hard trance, hard house, techno, 90s club classics, drum & bass, jungle, or something completely different.
The idea is simple: meet other people who love electronic music, have a chat, make some new friends and then enjoy the night together.
AFTA DARK provides the Midlands with an underground soundtrack every week and has become a popular after-hours destination in Birmingham.

### Who can join?

Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to know anyone beforehand and you definitely don’t need to be an expert on electronic music — just bring a love of EDM and a willingness to meet some new people.
Longer term, we’re hoping to organise meetups at clubs, raves, festivals and electronic music events around Birmingham, with the possibility of travelling to events elsewhere in the UK too.

🎶 Love EDM. Meet new people. Discover new nights.
Venue: LAB11, Birmingham
Event: AFTA DARK
Date: Saturday 29th August
Time: 11pm–5am
Come along and help us get the Birmingham EDM community started!

Every 2 weeks (1st & 3rd Fridays each month)!

Join us at this location, which will serve as our starting point before we may move on to explore the night together. This is a relaxed and welcoming group event, perfect for meeting new people and enjoying a casual Friday night out. Expect great conversations, shared laughs, and possibly some delicious food along the way. Whether you stay for a little while or the whole night, it’s all about having fun and connecting with others.

The famous WALKABOUT on Birmingham Broad Street is closing its doors for good on the weekend September 13th-14th. This place has been home to countless parties, sports games and fun for over a decade.

We are going to have one final Walkabout night out. The plan is to meet at The Prince of Wales at 9:00pm for an hour of pre-drinks before heading over to Walkabout at 10:00pm when it starts to get a little more lively.

We are a friendly and inclusive group who welcome all. Please feel free to message with any questions:
