Highly Visible and Very Dig-able

Highly Visible and Very Dig-able

It's a graff-based walkies

If you're still sitting on an adeptly graffitied fence about Digbeth, the recommended treatment is full immersion. Find the bestest ghost signs and wall art as part of a 2.5 hour guided walking tour, whilst learning about the area's industrial heritage and rapidly changing streets. On September 8, the ramble starts on Bradford Street at 1pm and includes a brief stint along the Fazeley Canal as well as the crannies and the nooks you're unlikely to find without a knowledgeable sort. Tickets for the one-off wander are £7.50. It's happening on the same day as Digbo's street culture festival, High-Vis, so maybe hit them both up? The one-dayer's about all things visual, so think graffiti, illustration, skateboarding, plus zine and comic book cultures. It's free and taking place at the Custard Factory where, if we've understood this right, there used to sit an entire factory made of custard.
