Summer of Colour at Mailbox
This summer, we’re transforming our iconic Canalside into an unmissable open-air hub to celebrate colour, community, and culture. Soak up the best of the summer for FREE at Mailbox’s Summer of Colour!
From 29th June to 31st August, experience an explosion of vibrant colour with our Canalside colour installation, designed by Birmingham based artists.
Then, settle in for a spectacular summer of entertainment as we are bringing a giant screen to the lower Canalside. We’re giving you front-row seats to the season’s sporting moments, including Wimbledon, the Commonwealth Games, and the European Athletics Championships.
Plus, we’re excited to be hosting fantastic live performances as part of Birmingham Jazz and Blues festival too.
Pull up a deckchair and make the most of the summer this year with our Summer of Colour, all completely free.
