On Sale for 2022: Roundhouse x Coffin Works

On Sale for 2022: Roundhouse x Coffin Works

Two tours, one ticket! 

We’ve teamed up with our friends at the Coffin Works to provide a day out exploring the graft and craft of working-class Brum. 

In the morning, join our Introducing the Roundhouse tour, finding out the story of our curious Victorian survivor from its origins to the present day.  

After a lunch break, we’ll lead a guided walk along the canal to the Coffin Works, where you’ll be transported back to the factory’s heyday in the 1960s and immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and smells of factory life during this decade. 

The two tours are linked by a short guided, canal side walk. 

This package offer is scheduled the last Sunday of every month from April – October. 

£18.50

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.
