Stirchley United Working Mens Club

Stirchley United Working Men’s Club is in many ways is an average working men’s club, with a couple of bars, two rooms, a stage and a number of events designed to appeal to the wider community. These events are mostly of the tribute bands and cabaret acts.
However once a month is the Stirchley Community Market which brings a whirlwind of different products and services to Stirchley United Working Men’s Club. You can buy homemade cakes, local meat products, unique jewellery, fine cheeses, vintage clothing and second hand vinyl. To add to the fun, there’s also a dj and local folk acts playing.
So in conclusion, Stirchley United Working Men’s Club is pretty much the same as most working men’s club, apart from once a month when it becomes something extraordinary.

I’ve been to SUWMC on a number of occasions over the last couple of years as it plays host to the monthly Stirchley Community Market.
If you’ve ever been inside a working men’s club then you’ll know what to expect. If you haven’t been inside a working men’s club then you simply need to watch an episode of Phoenix Nights. Usually — i.e. when the market hasn’t taken it over for the afternoon — you’d need to either be a member or be signed in by a member to enter the building, so visiting when the market is on is probably your best best.
Inside there is a fairly large bar /​function room with enough chairs and tables to comfortable seat 150 people (this is a guess — it may well be more) and there is a large bar that is well stocked and cheap as chips. There is a small stage in the corner that is used during the market by DJs and acts. Off from the main room there is a smaller bar that I’ve not yet been in.
Overall the place is friendly, clean and welcoming and if you live in the area it’s probably somewhere you should have a look at. You may even want to consider joining it as it provides a welcome alternative to The Three Horseshoes
