Kick off and conclude your walkabout of Birmingham at the city’s Library, located in Centenary Square. This excursion takes you through the city’s canals, introduces you to the Georgian industrial pioneers, tours you around our Victorian legacies, and showcases more modern architectural marvels. Updated developments happening right under our noses are elucidated, and the future path of Birmingham is speculated. The journey takes inspiration from the book ‘Positively Birmingham’, which can be procured from the Library shop at a discounted price of £12 (usually £20) after the tour.
This 2-hour walking tour that loops back in the Library of Birmingham in Centenary Square is an exceptional way to acquaint oneself with the city, raising curiosity in both local denizens and visitors equally. Our work aids the charity Sifa Fireside that provides solutions for acute and chronic homeless problems in Birmingham. A minimum of 10% of all ticket revenue is channeled into their efforts, as clearly communicated on our website.
- Our route can be accessible for wheelchairs but we do need to modify the route and would appreciate an email from you if you intend to bring a wheelchair. Our Access Policy is clearly stated on the Positively Birmingham Walking Tours website.
