Our Victorian cobbles can be a little uneven and steep in places, and most Roundhouse Birmingham experiences will involve some walking. This tour will involve plenty of movement around the site, so sturdy, sensible shoes are your friend.
Your guide will use audio systems to ensure that they are audible in the busy city environment. If you have headphones with a standard mini jack input, bring them along to use, if not, we have disposables (although we like to limit using them, for obvious reasons).
The audio systems are compatible with hearing loops which are available on arrival. If your whole group needs to use the audio loop, please let us know in advance so we can prepare.
Our guided tours and walks will go ahead whatever the weather so please plan accordingly.
