There's Audio Affair in the Custard Factory, a short walk from the Bull Ring. Then there's Music Matters on the Hagley Road which is a short bus/taxi ride from the city centre

Re: Shopping in Birmingham

Any visitors to Birmingham are welcome to pop down to see us in the Custard Factory area. We're only a 5 minute walk from the Bull Ring and Selfridges food hall etc when you fancy getting a break for lunch. Although we now have access to over 150 brands, more than any other specialist retailer in the midlands, we recommend calling us for an appointment first so we can have the equipment of choice and a coffee or tea ready for your demo. Smile

But rather expensive? I saw single chocolates for £1.20 each! Maybe I'm mean but I've yet to see something worth buying for the money.
