Open Days are here again

Heritage Open Days are a set of tours or special openings of buildings around the country for four days every September. This year’s itinerary is now out and there are six pages of search results local to Birmingham (can’t create a permalink you’ll have to go to the search page and use “Birmingham” as a keyword).

Highlights that I’ve seen so far:

Birmingham Bonanza Walk – architectural walk around the city centre that pays attention to the modern as well as the past.

Guided Walk – Moseley Art, Architecture & History

J W Evans – historic factory in the Jewellery Quarter.

Handsworth Old Town Hall – no excuse, it’s on the 11 route.

There’s also a walk entitled “Birmigham More Canals Than Venice”, which I can’t find online at the officlal site but is here.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.

    Feel free to send us anything you're interested in - or think we might be.
    If you've got gigs to promote, best to chuck them on the talk board.
