Great Big Green Week 2025

Join us at the Roundhouse for our Great Big Green Week activities this June! Across the 13th and 14th of June, we will be running free, family-friendly crafts and planting, guided litter picking walks, and guided kayak litter picks along the canal – all equipment provided. 

In Great Big Green Week, over a million people come together to be part of a wave of actions for friends and family, climate and nature. Our events at Roundhouse Birmingham will explore how we can all make big and small changes to change the system, and look after our communities, environment and the planet.

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.
