Roundhouse Website Launch

Roundhouse Website Launch

Welcome to the brand-new Roundhouse website! It’s been a long time in the making, and we’re excited to finally get it off the ground and bring you up-to-date news about all things Roundhouse. From little acorns, mighty oaks grow (a little nod to one of our partners) and so will the Roundhouse, and this website. 

Take a look ‘round

(Yes, we do like to play on the use of the word ‘round’ – and we make no apologies for that!)

We’ll keep updating the website throughout the year as we approach our public opening. Our next newsletter will delve a little into what we’ve been up to these past months and what you can look forward to once we open.

Update

The ‘Roundhouse Birmingham’ charity was set up in 2016 to care for the historic Grade II* listed Roundhouse building. Nine years on and the restored building is now used as office space and is home to a much-loved Italian restaurant.

Since 2021, the Roundhouse has also been a base for guided walks, kayak tours, boat trips and other activities. Whilst these have been well received, rising external costs mean this element of Roundhouse Birmingham is no longer providing the sustainable income we need to fund the ongoing care of this historic building. For this reason, we’ve made the difficult decision to close the leisure activity offer and visitor centre.

The office spaces will remain open as usual. Visitors can still access the site (see www.arenaltd.co.uk for opening hours) and Ristorante Caffe Arena will continue to welcome visitors.

We’re hugely proud of what the Roundhouse Birmingham team has achieved, and we’d also like to thank all of our visitors for their support. The trustees of Roundhouse Birmingham remain fully committed to caring for this important part of Birmingham’s heritage.

If you’ve already booked a tour, you’ll be contacted via email and the cost of your booking will be refunded. We apologise for any inconvenience.
