🩷❤️💛 🏳️🌈 Birmingham Pride is this weekend. 🏳️⚧️ 💚💜💙
We're open as usual on Friday; road closures only appear to be in place on Saturday and Sunday, however the area around the shop is likely to be busier than usual on Friday and may impact on parking.
Anyone attending Saturday's cEDH event, please plan your travel in advance and consider using park and ride options if you're driving in from outside the area - the local train network is generally very reliable and most stations offer free parking.
**Update - apparently there are rail strikes on Saturday so do check if your journey is likely to be affected! Smethwick Galton Bridge still have a good number of services running and there are hourly trains from Solihull, so those are two options, depending on which side of the city you're coming from!**
Any issues finding us or getting in, please call the shop and we'll do our best to help: https://www.manaleak.com/contact/
