Overview

    A fun and informative tour which not only introduces the city, but looks at the amazing art and architecture in a humorous and interactive way. Hosted by Jonathan Berg, local author and photographer, on which the tours are loosely based.

    You will come away with a new view of the UKs second city and feel the better for the experience. You will certainly realise why Birmingham and ‘water feature’ should never be mentioned in the same sentence!

What's Included

  • Use of a live audio receiver so you can hear the guide. Please bring a pair of earhones with a 3.5 mm jack - or we supply for a donation to our charity.

What to Expect

    Ideal for those interested in this atmospheric part of the city where Birminhgam originated. We learn about how it all started as a market hamlet growing to become the ‘workshop of the world’. The Peaky Blinders TV series is based on this area and adjacent Small Heath and is where the feature film will soon be produced. The area has public art of all descriptions to experience, as well as atmosperic canals to walk along and modern developments such as the coming of HS2. This is an amazing mixture of the bohemian along with the modernity of a city reinventing itself yet again. The tour is timed so that you can also take our Saturday afternoon tour from the Library of Birmingham if you want to make a day of it! The guide on the Digbeth tour is Jonathan Berg, local author who is currently writing the book: ‘Birmingham’s Public Art’ which is due to be published in 2023.
