THE FIRST JQ FESTIVAL! CELEBRATE JQ’S RICH HERITAGE AND HISTORY – AS WELL AS ITS REPUTATION FOR CREATIVE FLAIR – AT THIS UNIQUE SUMMER EVENT

Organised by the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District (JQBID), the festival, which officially marks the opening of Golden Square, will give visitors the chance to experience the wide variety of creative work that takes place across the Quarter.

As part of this free fun-filled event, which runs from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th July, you can take a look behind-the-scenes of some of the brilliant industries that have their home here, including graphic designers, sculptors, glass makers and etchers; film makers, photographers, jewellery makers, game designers, and 3D printers.

As well as a launch party on Friday, there will also be a whole host of family friendly activities, including a helter-skelter, photo booths, face painting and workshops, plus plenty of free outdoor performances, featuring musicians, bands, theatre and dance troupes, all at Golden Square.

The JQ Grand Bazaar event will bring together vintage and crafts stalls, while JQ StrEATMarket will showcase the best of the independent food scene.

JQBID has also worked with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to host Ask An Architect—a free personal consultation to discuss ideas for designing and building your own home or renovating your existing one in a strictly no obligation session. This takes place on the Golden Square, as part of the four month-long Birmingham Love Architecture Festival, which started in June.

Jazz fans will also be well catered for when Birmingham Jazz premiere their Jazz Legends Festival, which will feature performances by more than a dozen local and international jazz artists and bands in venues across the Quarter which you will find in the Birmingham Jazz programme.

Guided tours will give you the chance to learn about the history of this fascinating area, while beer lovers can enjoy our CAMRA-endorsed Real Ale Trail. Lastly, if you haven’t already visited any museums in the JQ, then what better excuse do you need?! So read this programme and ask our volunteers if you need any help or guidance. Enjoy!

Unearth the history of the cemeteries and their notable residents such as Joseph Chamberlain MP and Marie Bethell Beauclerc, the first female reporter in England, at Key Hill Cemetery and radical politician Joseph Allday at Warstone Lane Cemetery.

The cemetery opened in 1836 and the first interment in the Church of England Cemetery in Warstone Lane took place in August 1848. The memorial chapel, dedicated to St. Michael, was used for divine worship from 1854 to 1878 before being demolished in 1953. The chapel stood above a semi-circular range of catacombs where people such as typographer John Baskerville and Major ‘Harry’ Gem – co-founder of lawn tennis – are buried.
