🎭 The Lost Music Halls of Birmingham – A Walking Tour of Laughter, Legends & Long-Forgotten Stages

Roll up, roll up! Discover a side of Birmingham you won’t find in the guidebooks on this witty, eye-opening walking tour through the city’s vanished music halls.

Join acclaimed guide and storyteller Kevin Thomas as we wander through Birmingham’s streets searching for the ghosts of glamour, gags, and greasepaint. From bawdy comics to blindfolded tightrope walkers, this tour uncovers the stages where Victorian and Edwardian Brummies once laughed, gasped, and heckled their way through the evening.

The tour lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on the pace of the group, and covers approximately 1.5 miles along pavements. The tour will go ahead in all safe weather conditions, so please dress appropriately for the forecast.
