The Town Crier, a cherished ‘old-school’ pub situated on MacDonald Street in Birmingham’s vibrant Digbeth district, has been put on the market with a guide price of £430,000 following its permanent closure.
Occupying a prominent corner location, The Town Crier has long been a welcoming hub for the local community, known for its warm atmosphere and no-frills charm. Now, this well-known property offers buyers a chance to revitalize a landmark venue or explore alternative uses, subject to planning permissions.
Shepherd Commercial’s managing director, Kaine Arkinson, highlighted Digbeth’s dynamic transformation over the past decade. “The level of investment coming into the area is remarkable, with growing interest from investors and owner-occupiers eager to secure property ahead of anticipated value increases,” he said. “The Town Crier is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a celebrated local building in a neighbourhood that is evolving rapidly.”

One reviewer described it as a “proper old school boozer,” while another called it a “little gem” with welcoming regulars and a great atmosphere.
As The Town Crier awaits its next chapter, the property’s vacant possession status invites a broad spectrum of potential uses, reinforcing its appeal to prospective buyers keen to be part of Digbeth’s ongoing regeneration story.
