Things to do this weekend with friend visiting?

โ€ข Upvotes

My friend from uni is visiting me this weekend and I would like to take her for something to do. I know itโ€™s going to storm this weekend so Indoor activities?

I have a car so we can go to the surrounding areas.

My main idea was the indoor mini golf in the Bullring where we can have a drink as well. But I would like something closer to home as well.

And brunch as well, I saw Kitchen 126 opened a new branch. So that would be cool.

But if anyone has anything more activity/drinks based that would be brilliant.

Venue suggestion?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so I am looking for ideas for hosting a Christmas party with lots of friends, we would be like 50 people between adults and children, and we would like to hire a venue that a) has got a bar b) has got space for a bouncy castle indoor and c) either offers or allows catering - anywhere in Coventry, Birmingham or Warwickshire would do. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I was thinking about Dhillons brewery in Coventry as a nice options, but I would like alternative options too...

Any suggestions welcomed!
