About Hobgoblin Music in Birmingham
Location Map
The eighth branch of Hobgoblin Music opened in July 2003, at Birmingham’s Custard Factory. The building also contains a branch of the woodwind specialists Wind-World. The Custard Factory is at the site of the factories once owned by Alfred Bird, who received a knighthood for inventing custard in the 19th century. Over the last 20 years the once derelict site has been taken on by new owners, and now the Custard Factory houses music, art and drama studios, music and record shops, cafes and restaurants, and is also a popular venue.
Hobgoblin Music in Birmingham stocks our full range of folk and acoustic musical instruments, spares, accessories and tutor materials, and specialises particularly in woodwind (folk and orchestral), accordions and melodeons.
"thank you very much for this great deal! ...Will highly recommend Hobgoblin!"
