From Friday through to Saturday The Lord Clifden pub and it’s rather magnificent garden are offering up a free festival of beats and treats this Bank Holiday with Dean Sunshine Smith’s Soulshake on the Friday followed by the ever-popular Great Outdoors Saturday night shimmy under the stars (see our feature here) and Sunday’s Kitchen Disco Summer Party heating up the weekend whatever the weather. Monday is the Motomo Motown Bank Holiday Monday special. So thats 4 days of DJs + alfresco beats + 3 bars, BBQ, great food and all free before 10pm. We think that definitely equals a good deal. Get down early Sunday, it’s set to be a belter.

Fri 26 Aug – Mon 29 Aug, The Lord Clifden, 34 Great Hampton Street, Hockley, Birmingham, B18 6AA. Various times. FREE before 10pm. See: www.thelordclifden.com
