Popular Birmingham festival Flatpack returns at venues throughout the city this May.

Taking place from Friday 10 - Sunday 19 May, the annual event features a boundary-pushing programme of art, tech, music and spoken word alongside transformative films, premieres and performances from around the globe.

Highlights of this year’s festival - which features 80 shows and events - include an outdoor screening of cult horror classic Carrie at Birmingham Botanical Gardens, a BAFTA-qualifying short-film competition, the return of award-winning Japanese performance duo Usaginingen, and an artist-led spa promising ‘access to a higher consciousness’.
