Cold beers, cheese and celebrity chefs – a day in the life of Fort Dunlop!

I attended the ‘Taste of Birmingham’ event on the Fort Dunlop roof last week. It was a ‘pre’ event celebrating the launch of the actual festival which will take place across Birmingham this week.

More than 100 of our tenants came along (helped by the sunshine!) to taste lots of lovely locally produced products – including cheese and beers.

A celebrity chef, Alan Coxon, was on hand to give us more information about what we were eating, so it turned into a really informative afternoon.

You might have seen my colleague Emily’s earlier blog about another rooftop event at the Fort and its fair to say we are becoming quite partial to them (especially in these Summer months). It’s the largest ‘living’ green roof in the country and is vast in size with lots of permanent furniture and structures in place for parties.

Drop me a line if you’re interested in hosting an event up there. Or for any other details about the Fort.
