Self guided tours

Our activities use the Roundhouse as a launchpad to explore Birmingham’s brilliant stories and places, so expect something a little different. We offer canal-based kayaking, city walking tours, boat trips and (of course) we’re excited to introduce you to the Roundhouse and its story.
