Alright bab? Fancy a walking tour?
Birmingham’s a brilliant city, with a rich history and down to earth people, but what makes it so great? We have the answers…
Join us for a very Birmingham walk that covers canals and comedy; Baskerville and Brutalism; heavyweight politicians and heavy metal. All with an added dash of B-I-N-G-O.
The ultimate Brummie walking tour, with a (gently) competitive element.
Want to book a stag/hen party experience or make a private group booking for six or more? Visit our Group Booking page.
B is for Birmingham. And Bab. It’s for Balti, Black Sabbath, and Broad Street. B is also for Bingo!
Join us as we explore Brum in search of the amazing innovations, music, and culture that Birmingham has produced, all while ticking off some brilliant Birmingham Bs on your bingo card as you go. You’ll need to keep an ear out, and to keep your eyes peeled.
Review – I Choose Birmingham
‘I like to think I know a thing or two about Brum. But, when competing (and make no mistake, it is a competition) in Roundhouse Birmingham’s new Bingo walking tour, I was astounded at how much I learnt.
We had an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide with trademark wry Brum humour, who demonstrated where Brum has excelled in centuries past and, with apt self-deprecation, where perhaps we could have done better. Highly recommended’
Customer feedback (TripAdvisor)
‘The Roundhouse are developing a decent niche with these walks. It appears volunteers are at the centre of it all. But no dusty, dreary or despondent types at work here. Well informed, excited and with dollops of passion, they brought it all alive…’
