B:Eats announces line-up of free performances and menu item discounts alongside Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book colouring competition
B:Eats, a daytime cafe and eatery created by B:Music, the music charity responsible for Symphony Hall and Town Hall, has announced the line-up of free performances in the Live at B:Eats Summer Series from 31st July to 4th September.
On the day of each performance, from 12pm-2pm, selected favourite items from the menu, such as the Brummie Bacon Cake, its vegan counterpart the Fake–Un Cake, and Birmingham Soup will have a 10% discount.
Another element of B:Eats’ summer program is a colouring competition, in partnership with Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book, the stage show based on the book of the same name by Julia Donaldson. Children at B:Eats are invited to colour in a picture of Charlie reading his favourite book to be in with the chance of winning tickets to watch the show with their family at Birmingham Townhall.

- Wednesday 14th August, 1pm: Mohinder Singh will perform a taster of the Midday Mantra series in partnership with Sampad.

Lee Hollington, Head Chef for B:Eats said, “The team and I are really looking forward to the performances during the Summer Series. I’m particularly excited to share the history of the Brummie Bacon Cake and my Grandad’s original recipe.”
“The performances are also a great, free activity to keep children entertained over the long summer holidays, and through our partnership with Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book, there’s even more to do, and the chance to win tickets for the whole family to see the show in October.”
