Food hall social club unveils final events programme

Hockley Social Club is set to close after five years of operation

A street food, music and events venue in Birmingham has announced its final autumn events programme ahead of its closure at the end of 2025.

In June, Hockley Social Club (HSC) announced it would close its doors on December 31 after "five glorious years".

The business was launched as a "hybrid food hall" during the pandemic, bringing a wide range of food, culture, music and community events to the city's Jewellery Quarter.

Digbeth Dining Club (DDC), which runs the venue, said it will welcome choirs, orchestras, DJs, jazz nights, live podcasts and stand-up comedy, among others, in its final months of operation.

Speaking at the time of the closure, the company said the food hall had reached its "natural end".

Their latest event schedule will see highlights including the BBC New Comedy Awards hosted by Mr Big Stuff star, Fatiha El-Ghorri.

The popular CBSO Symphonic Sessions will also return, taking over the warehouse for an Oktoberfest-inspired night of traditional Bavarian folk music.

Organisers said a line-up for December, including a New Year's Eve programme celebrating the last day of the venue, will be announced soon.

More than 500,000 people have attended a wide range of events - around 5,000 - during HSC's five-year tenure.
