Coinciding with the late openings is a series of talks called ‘These are a few of my favourite things’ which will be

loosely based on Desert Island Discs where speakers will present their eight most memorable artistic experiences illustrated by a slide show

The schedule for those is:

• 4 June – David Bintley, Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet
• 18 June – Sadie Plant, writer
• 25 June – Ian Francis, 7 Inch Cinema
• 9 July – Catherine O’Flynn, author

The talks start at 6.30pm and places are free, although they need to be booked in advance on 0121 248 0708.
