Events to mark city's 10th heritage festival

Visitors will be able to take part in a guided tour of the Rotunda during Birmingham Heritage Week 2024

Members of the public will be able to take part in guided tours around the Rotunda and dozens of other historic buildings as part of Birmingham Heritage Week.

The city-wide event, now in its 10th year, will run from 6 to 15 September.

Over the course of the festival, attendees will be able to get involved in walks and tours of canals, factories, museums, religious buildings and outdoor areas.

The Woodcock Street baths, the oldest swimming baths in the city, and the Birmingham Assay Office will also open their doors to visitors.

The Grade II listed Woodcock Street baths dates back to 1902

Other historic buildings offering guided tours during the event include the Council House, The Exchange and Highbury Hall.

Birmingham Heritage Week coordinator Irene De Boo said: “For 10 years now, Heritage Week has been about discovering how Birmingham’s past continues to influence the city today.

“We are so excited for Heritage Week 2024 and this year people will be spoilt for choice for guided tours, workshops, talks, open days and more, not only in the city centre but the suburbs too."

More details on the full programme of events will be listed on the festival's website in August.
