For Birmingham Heritage Week 2025, join Still Walking for a tour of Centenary Sq that explores our 'civic' landscape.
About this Event

Tickets available from August 9, 2025, 12pm.

Civic Gospel was a Victorian municipal ideology that provided citizens with quality architecture, thoughtful urban design and improved utilities. Join Ben Waddington, author and founder of Still Walking for a walk around the block as he explores how those 19th-century ideals translate to the demands of today, from public spaces and parks to security, Wi-Fi and beyond.

Tours last approx. 90 minutes and start at The Exchange

Tickets are £5 per person. To make our events as accessible as possible, we are also offering a limited number of free Solidarity Tickets. For more info on Solidarity tickets, go to our ticketing information page.
