Solihull Social Media Café
Based on the Birmingham SMC, we hope this cafe will provide people, businesses, authorities, communities, and voluntary sector organisations with a great place to build strong relationships, and find creative ways to use social media as a means of engagement and communication in Solihull.

Solihull Social Media Cafe on Facebook
The SMC is held in the Gallery found in the Solihull Arts & Library Complex, and you can get there from Homer Road following the stairs up alongside the library, or from the Touchwood shopping centre through the doors into Library Square opposite the lifts and elevators to the cinema.
Once you enter the complex the cafe is on the right, and once you enter the cafe, the stairs to the Gallery are in the left corner.

Here’s the Touchwood page on how to get there, also showing where all of the car parks are. I recommend Monkspath Hall Car Park, it’s a bit further, but if you’re in Solihull before 9:30 there are plenty of spaces, and it’s only £3 for the whole day.
The coffee will be provided by our generous sponsor Land Rover Coffee and Wi-Fi will be provided by the Council for the SMC days only as a trial.
The venue is really nice and spacious, and the art installations change from time to time, so there are lots of things to see, and talk about, as well as the social media aspect. There’s a more traditional layout cafe downstairs, and if you need a quieter chat and somewhere to sit down with your laptop, that’s the ideal place.
Once again though, the WiFi will only be available on the days the SMC is hosted, as this is a trial of a partner network we’ll be testing. If that all works, we may have pioneered public WiFi in the cafe as a permanent feature at some point in the future.
