Roundhouse Birmingham has become the latest organisation to gain recognition for our commitment to delivering a warm, knowledgeable and inclusive welcome for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Games Ready Business recognition is awarded to businesses that have trained 80% or more of their front-line staff using the ‘Getting Games Ready’ programme. The e-learning programme prepares businesses to welcome guests from around the world, providing insight and information to ensure the region delivers an outstanding visitor experience and showcases the very best of the West Midlands.
The Roundhouse team are also ready to give visitors a friendly welcome, with volunteers stationed around the building, as well as a competition where you can be in with a chance to win two tickets for a tour of your choosing. All you have to do is guess how many horses can be found around the building. You can enter the competition on your visit to the Roundhouse with one of our friendly volunteers or in the Visitor Centre.
During the Commonwealth Games the Roundhouse will also be home to Quatro Gymnastics, who will be selling their British designed gymnastics leotards at a pop-up shop on site. The Roundhouse is just a short walk away from the gymnastics venue for the Commonwealth Games, Arena Birmingham. Visit our Getting Here page to get directions.
The independent tea room and restaurant at the Roundhouse will be open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Wednesday, and 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat near the gymnastics at the Arena, Jonathans in the Roundhouse serve breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas and a wide range of traditional British food. Visit their website to view the full menu.
