Week of activities for Birmingham Heritage Week
A festival celebrating the heritage of Birmingham is set to bring a week of activities.
Birmingham Heritage week is an annual celebration of the city's history, people and places, with a range of activities and events take place.
The event, which is in its sixth year, will carry a different feel this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, with several events taking place online and in virtual settings. Activities on offer include a free guided tour of the city's oldest swimming pool, Woodcock Street Baths, outdoor performances by the CBSO in the Handsworth secret gardens and talks on the archaeology of the city.
Irene De Boo, Birmingham Heritage Week co-ordinator, said the week was about discovering how the past has influenced the city today.
She said: "We may not be able to bring people together in exactly the same way, but we have a brilliant programme of events that can be enjoyed safely online or in-person.
"We are sure everyone will enjoy discovering something new about this city’s rich heritage this September."
Birmingham Heritage week runs from Thursday, September 10, to Sunday, September 20.
