Boxpark to open Birmingham site in 2025
The company will invest around £5m into the Digbeth area and the new opening is expected to create approximately 200 new job opportunities for the local community
Boxpark has announced that it is set to launch its first venue in Birmingham in 2025.
The company has agreed a 15-year lease with landlords The Arch Company for the Floodgate Street Arches site in Digbeth.
It has been looking to expand to Birmingham since 2016 and the Digbeth site will become its first site in the Midlands.
The site sits under four 12m railway arches and spans nearly 17,000 sq. ft, and Boxpark will create 10 kitchen units and four internal bars set across two floors.
In addition, there will be just over 10,500 sq. ft. of external space to offer al fresco dining and events.
The company will invest around £5m into the Digbeth area and the new opening is expected to create approximately 200 new job opportunities for the local community.
Simon Champion, Boxpark CEO, said: “We are delighted to announce the new location for our next Boxpark venture. Our team has searched extensively for sites in Birmingham since 2016, having considered multiple locations across the city. As a dynamic and fast-growing business, we hope Boxpark will be an exciting addition to Birmingham.
“The city’s food, drink and leisure scene has become known as one of the best in the country and we can’t wait to add to that with a space that will support and champion local creatives from food to art, music and beyond.”
