Welcome to Port Loop.
This is what community looks like
South Loop Park
Helping the community to get outside and enjoy outdoor spaces together was one of the guiding principles of Port Loop’s masterplan.
So, we created South Loop Park – central Birmingham’s first public park in over a decade.
Its launch was celebrated with our huge Play Out Til Tea event where the community enjoyed bubble displays, hula-hooping, a craft tipi, a DIY drive-in cinema, an outdoor library, a story zone, face painting, and picnic areas.
Now, South Loop Park has become the neighbourhood’s favourite outdoor venue, where events including The Big Lunch, art exhibitions, and music and dance performances are hosted.
(It’s also the best place in the neighbourhood to get onto the canal in your kayak).

YARD at Port Loop
YARD is Port Loop’s art house. It’s run by MAIA Group and housed in one of our three-storey Town House homes.
At YARD, the local community can enjoy exhibitions from international artists-in-residence, chefs-in-residence who use the open-plan kitchen space to bring new culinary experiences to the neighbourhood, acoustic jam nights, open-house events, gaming events, mindfulness sessions, yoga, and more.
YARD also has its own weekly podcast and playlist and hosts a free monthly brunch.
Keep up to date with YARD by following @yardarthouse and @maia_group on Instagram, or on their website.

Tubeworks
As part of the Port Loop masterplan, we’ll be creating Tubeworks – a social, community and cultural hub for all to enjoy.
Plans for Tubeworks are still under discussion, but could include a coffee shop, co-working space, a parcel delivery hub, a bike repair shop, rehearsal spaces, workshops, kitchens, markets, a crèche, a bakery or a micro-brewery.
Whatever the final range of services, Tubeworks will be the heart of community life on this exciting urban island.

Kayaking lessons
So far, more than 200 people have taken part in the kayak lessons at South Loop Park. Lessons are due to return this summer.
Pedalling Pantry
Prior to the last lockdown, Pedalling Pantry by Jas was visiting Port Loop every week with fresh fruit and veg. Jas will be returning to Port Loop for pop-up events soon, but residents can order the Pedalling Pantry to their door in the meantime.
Whether you are a Port Loop resident or neighbour from the surrounding area everyone is welcome. There are plenty of things going on to enjoy, meet new people and make the most of the outdoor space, canals and parks.
