What’s On Local<br />
START THE YEAR AS YOU MEAN TO GO ON BY GETTING<br />
OUT OF THE HOUSE AND FINDING SOME FUN<br />
WHAT: DRIVE-IN CINEMA<br />
WHERE: SANDON HALL, SANDON, STAFFORDSHIRE<br />
WHEN: DATES THROUGHOUT JANUARY<br />
Drive-in entertainment was able to restart at the end of the national<br />
lockdown, despite many indoor entertainment venues having to<br />
remain closed. It’s seen a resurgence of drive-in cinema screenings<br />
around the country.<br />
The Great British Drive In, at Sandon Hall, is one of our absolute<br />
favourites. Members of the J’AIME team have been paying<br />
customers and heartily recommend it.<br />
It feels very safe and you have the backdrop of a stunning stately<br />
home behind the massive cinema screen.<br />
There’s no need to leave your car at all but if you do you can buy<br />
food prepared by Digbeth Dining Club.<br />
<strong>January</strong>’s films are set to include Grease, The Greatest Showman<br />
and Interstellar.<br />
WHAT: PANTOMIME<br />
WHERE: ALEXANDRA THEATRE, BIRMINGHAM<br />
WHEN: JANUARY 15 TO 31<br />
At the time of going to print, Birmingham is still set to get a good old<br />
fashioned pantomime, Robin Hood, starring Craig Revel Horwood<br />
from Strictly Come Dancing as The Sheriff of Nottingham.<br />
The socially distanced, one-act show has been shortened so that<br />
members of the audience won’t risk mingling during an interval.<br />
The line-up is also due to include Richard Cadell and Sooty, Black<br />
Country favourite Doreen Tipton and Matt Slack who usually<br />
appears in panto at the Birmingham Hippodrome.<br />
Expect traditional panto fun at the end of a very untraditional year.<br />
WHAT: CHINESE NEW YEAR<br />
WHERE: LOCATIONS AROUND BIRMINGHAM<br />
WHEN: JANUARY 24 TO 26<br />
At the time of going to press Birmingham city centre was still set<br />
to play host to elaborate celebrations to mark the Chinese New<br />
Year.<br />
COVID-19 may cause some plans to change, but you can still<br />
anticipate a riot of colour in Birmingham’s Chinatown.<br />
There’s due to be a wish tree in Grand central that visitors can<br />
add their own wishes to.<br />
There are also set to be stalls, street entertainers and<br />
performances.<br />
