If you fancy a quick trip into the city this Saturday, Birmingham's Hippodrome Square has been taken over by some impressive classic cars as part of Brum Transport Fest 2026 — and it's completely free.
The display is from the Gay Classic Car Group (GCCG), a club for LGBTQ+ classic car enthusiasts. You can find them at gccg.org.uk.
