Our birthday present for you, experience our fan favourite Birmingham Bingo walking tour at a discounted rate!
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, during our Big Birthday weekend.
The ultimate Brummie walking tour, with a (gently) competitive element.
B is for Birmingham. And Bab. B is also for Birthday and Bingo!
Join us a special discounted tour during our 150th Birthday weekend! We’ll be 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 keep your eyes peeled.
Party hats optional, but heavily encouraged. If you join us on Saturday, you’ll be back in time for cake!

The route is designed with access in mind, avoiding stairs where possible. There are some steep sloped sections by the Utilita Arena.
