During this free 40 minute tour you’ll discover the Victorian people (and horses) who made the Roundhouse a 24/7 hub for the city of Birmingham.
You’ll also meet a lesser-known – but larger than life – architect, and ponder the question: why is it round…? and perhaps even play a few games along the way!!
The tour is free but if you’re able, we accept contactless or cash donations on a pay-as-you-feel basis.
Prefer a longer, more in-depth tour? We offer a 90 minute full Introducing the Roundhouse tour, both separately or as part of our package tours. You can find out more here:

Please Note: The Roundhouse is extremely photogenic. Bring a fully charged smartphone.
This is a FREE tour, but we do accept pay-as-you-feel donations on site.
Make sure to come along and check in at our Visitor Centre at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the tour to make sure we are ready to start on time.
Our Victorian cobbles can be a little uneven and steep in places, and most Roundhouse Birmingham experiences will involve some walking. Sturdy, sensible shoes are your friend!
Our guided tours and walks will go ahead whatever the weather, so plan accordingly.
Your tour guide will use audio systems to ensure that they are audible in noisy environments.
Tour headsets are available so everyone can hear clearly. Please bring plug in headphones if you have them, or you can use those we have available.
If a number of people in your group would benefit from the tour guide system’s hearing loop, call ahead to let us know on 0121 716 4077, or by emailing bookings@roundhousebirmingham.org.uk.
