The agenda for this year’s Birmingham Heritage Week has now been announced, with more than 100 events to be held over 11 days throughout the city.

Aston Hall, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, and some of the historic buildings in Bournville are among the venues set to host events.

Birmingham Heritage Week is returning this September. The West Midlands city will once again be hosting a plethora of exhibitions, tours and open days designed to engage local residents and tourists alike with unique, lesser known heritage sites and stories.
