You can now gift a year’s Independent Birmingham Membership to your friends/loved ones.

Free to download, the Independent Birmingham App is your key to the city - helping you to discover over 170 of the very best independents across Birmingham and Solihull with our list and interactive map.

But the best part is that by signing up for IB Membership you can save money whilst supporting local at each of the 170+ independent venues listed.

Save anywhere from £5, £10, £20, £30, even up to hundreds of pounds off (at certain venues) – all while having fun AND supporting Brum’s ace indie businesses – and all for just £29.90 per year.

We add new independents and deals to the IB App all of the time (alongside recently introducing a number of incredible off-peak deals where you can save up to 50% off at Brum's top restaurants) so for just £29.90 for the year, IB App Membership really is the gift that keeps on giving - and now you can gift it to a friend!

IB Membership makes the perfect birthday, Christmas or special occasion gift (or even if you just fancy spreading the indie love) - so if you know someone who would enjoy the IB App and all it has to offer - be sure to give them the gift of local.

Looking to treat a group of people (your employees/team, residents, students etc) to yearly IB Membership? We now also offer a bulk purchase option where you can buy multiple IB Memberships (for a discounted price) so you can treat your chosen recipients to the best gift of all - a year’s IB Membership!
