Make sure you bring a raincoat though as October can be unpredictable with the weather.
Off Season:
November through to February is cold and dark. The nights draw in a lot quicker and the temperatures plummet compared to the summer. Tourism is very low during the winter though so you can find the cheapest flights to Birmingham then, and a visit over Christmas can be great due to the German Market which normally takes place on the run up to the big day.
