This September, Birmingham’s oldest and friendliest pub will be celebrating its next milestone – 656 years of The Old Crown! This year, the pub will be celebrating with its ‘Birthday Weekender’ on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September with a huge free party. Expect huge giveaways including a £656 cheque and 656 free drinks, live DJs, delicious street food, party games & more! Plus, their iconic Sunday roasts served up all day on Sunday 15th.
Guests at the event will have the chance to win £656 cash – by playing party games and battling it out with other teams at the venue. Enter on the night! What would you spend £656 on?
The iconic venue is Birmingham’s oldest non-secular building, and has fought off attacks during the First Civil War from Prince Rupert’s forces – it’s the only structure still standing after the Battle of Birmingham at Camp Hill in 1643. Additionally, the pub has been host to royalty, with Queen Elizabeth I staying there on her way home from Kenilworth Castle in 1575. The pub prides itself on celebrating its heritage, with many parts of the original building, including its black & white timber frame, still standing to this day.
656 years later, The Old Crown is celebrated as one of Birmingham’s best pubs, with two beer gardens and hundreds of events all year round, including #DigbethStPats celebrations and their annual Summer Programme. This year, the pub was crowned as one of the finalists in The Great British Pub Awards for ‘’Best Town Pub’’, the winner being announced just days after this year’s birthday celebrations.
Free entry tickets to join in on this year’s celebrations are available to reserve now via Design My Night. With huge prizes to be won in the pub’s newly refurbished beer garden and live DJ Tom Mason supplying the soundtrack – this is sure to be a weekend to remember.
