Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you’re reading this tomorrow).They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you’re an avid map junkie or simply ‘map-curious’, you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here?’So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps.Because the worst maps are the best maps.Jay and Mark will be in conversation with each other, followed by and audience Q&A and signing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/birmingham/an-evening-with-map-men-birmingham/100001987071282697 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 14, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Birmingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 52.478734 - **long**: -1.894699 - **full address**: Waterstones, 24-26 High Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Map Men - Birmingham - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/6c87f2cdca3113c40f0442c1277812ecd78cf8557dfca20f75aaf505bc129a6b-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1775833415 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Map Men - Birmingham being held? - **A:** An Evening with Map Men - Birmingham takes place on Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 02 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Waterstones, 24-26 High Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for An Evening with Map Men - Birmingham? - **A:** Ticket prices for An Evening with Map Men - Birmingham range from GBP 5 to GBP 14 depending on the ticket type.
