Birmingham Noir walking tour

A walking tour exploring some of the more cryptic and sinister features to be found around Colmore Business District.

Local historian Ben Waddington explores some of the more cryptic and sinister features and stories to be found around Colmore Business District and the surrounding cityscape. The tour also focuses on some unexpected aspects of Birmingham’s involvement in cinema history.

This event is presented in partnership with Still Walking, a new festival offering guided tours by local historians, architects, walking artists, psychogeographers, dancers, micro navigators and ramblers. Still Walking bridges the gap between Flatpack and Fierce, and is intended to complement and overlap the two festivals in its themes.

All events will proceed as advertised; if wet weather looks likely, please dress accordingly. If the guide or organisers decide that weather or conditions make it dangerous or impossible to continue, there will be an indoor, informal social event with the guide and ticket holders, with refreshments, at a nearby venue. The guide will be available to talk about their subject and answer questions. Tickets are sold on the understanding that this replacement may take place.
