What’s it like working at Roundhouse Birmingham?
We asked the team to let us know, in their own words, what it’s like working here.

It’s a big year for us – our 4th summer calling this beautiful building our home and the Roundhouse building’s 150th Birthday – we’ve got so many exciting things ahead.

This month’s blog is a guest blog from Ella, one of our wonderful Visitor Centre Assistants. She shares how she wards off the winter blues and cares for her mental health during the darker nights.

Tuesday 10th October is World Mental Health Day. With one in eight people living with mental health conditions, it’s important to shine a light on not only the conditions, but the ways to get help and live well with them.

After a 5-star-rated summer, our free drop-in tours have been extended for the duration of October.

After 18 months, Jonathans in the Roundhouse – the restaurant and tea rooms at the Roundhouse – has closed.

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.
