Editing Custard Factory (section)

==Co-located media training==
The presence of the Custard Factory has drawn two media training agencies to locate nearby. The old Trades Union Studies Centre is now a media and arts annexe of [[South Birmingham College]] and in 2005, the [[Vivid (media arts)|VIVID]] media centre moved from the [[Jewellery Quarter]]. Also nearby is Access Creative College in Birmingham, a specialist 16-19 education provider in creative vocational qualifications.

About {{convert|800|yd|m}} away is the new "Progress Works" complex, opened in 2005 as part of the Custard Factory quarter, on Heath Mill Lane. "The Bond" complex is also a short walk away.

Three-quarters of a mile north is [[Birmingham Institute of Art and Design|BIAD]], the largest British university art & design teaching and research centre outside [[London]].

===Nearby entertainment and shopping locations===
Nearby are two music venues, [[Digbeth Institute|The Institute]] (formerly The Sanctuary) and [[AIR (nightclub)|AIR]], home to and owned by [[Godskitchen]] the [[trance music|trance]] [[superclub]]. The Custard Factory is close to the [[Old Crown, Birmingham|Old Crown]] pub, a half-timbered building dating from the 14th century, [[Birmingham Coach Station]], and the [[Bull Ring, Birmingham|Bull Ring]] which is Birmingham's main shopping centre, with its landmark [[Selfridges]] building.
