Big Brum experience - The Birmingham Bonanza Walk

The walk starts at the mediaeval centre around St Martin’s Church and the Bullring including the latest `shop till you drop’ iconic building of Selfridges. Did you know that approximately 16,000 aluminium discs reside on a concrete background painted in Yves Klein blue! Follow the time line to Victorian Birmingham and the 21st century of Queen Elizabeth II. Discover the hidden secrets of the city - where is the little black dog, the smallest woman? New Street, Victoria Square, Centenary Square, the ICC, Symphony Hall, Brindley Place. The walk finishes at Gas Street Basin to look at the canal system which played a major role in the industrialisation of the city – learn about Birmingham’s unique past, architectural heritage and the people who put Birmingham on the map.

This is the ultimate Birmingham walk which can be used for any event.

Finish your walk with a visit to the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
