ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO IN 2024
the Spring Soirée is has been and gone but the BPA still has two great events to add to your 2024 social calendar – all in familiar locations. Another welcome return for our Christmas Lunch event as we head back to the splendour of the Grand Hotel Birmingham, just off Colmore Row, and back at our more traditional time slot. When the sun will hopefully be showing it’s face, we are heading back to Birdies Bar in The Custard Factory, Digbeth, this time for a Summer Quiz Night. All tickets are now available, so buy now and get those dates in your 2024 diary.
Remember, the BPA is the only organisation of its kind, bringing the media industry and friends together in the Midlands. Don't miss out!
The BPA Summer Quiz Night 2024
at Birdies Bar
The Custard Factory, Digbeth, B9
Thursday 27 June 2024, from 6:00 PM
It’s been a minute since we did a quiz night, so we thought it was high time we tested your intelligence just a little. Birdies Bar in The Custard Factory will be the venue.
The exact details of the quiz itself are still in the planning. Cash prizes will be on offer to the top performing teams of four people who’ll also get food and a welcome drink in with the ticket price.
Entry for teams of four people is £130 for BPA members and £140 for non-members.

Tables of 10 are £1,250 for BPA members and £1,350 for non-members.
