Digbeth busts its talent out and shows it off fullsome style every first Friday of the month with a whole creative showcase of cheap and free stuff to experience from exhibitions and late-night openings to special events, club nights and culture in unexpected spaces. This month it’s a festive free-for-all in the shape of late night opening across the Custard Factory’s ace indie outlets alongside the visiting cool crafting cohort of the Etsy Market. There’s also the intriguing political armageddon survivalists touring workshop Catching Rabbits & Starting Fires at A3 Project Space from A Future Manual, the gathering involves (fake) Rabbit Catching 6pm – 9pm as well as Fire Making and Bonfire. Everyone is invited to ‘drop in at any point to eat jacket potatoes & beans, talk and feel a bit better about tomorrow’. Sounds suitably wild and therapeutic stuff to us. Centrala will also be hosting a late night opening 6pm – 11pm with speciality Polish food and drinks and a late opening of Aleksandra Natalia Koper’s funky new exhibition (pictured).

Fri 2 Dec, various venues 1pm – late. See www.digbethfirstfriday.com
