Heritage Open Days / Birmingham Heritage Week come to an end on Sunday. You can find information on the websites here and here.
A reminder that on Sunday 20 September 2-5pm both the Dovecote Garden and Moseley Park will be open for socially distanced visits. Why not plan to visit them as you go to and from the Moseley in Bloom sale at the top of Chantry Road?
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery is reopening on Wednesday 7 October. You can find all the details here.
The new opening times are from Wednesday – Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Free timed tickets must be booked in advance here.
The Edwardian Tearooms will be open to eat in or takeaway. You can see Cold War Steve’s huge Birmingham collage – Benny’s Babbies – on display in the gallery for the first time since it launched online in lockdown.
Tickets will be free but, if possible, visitors will be asked to donate to help Birmingham Museums Trust secure its future during very difficult financial times.
There will be new safety measures in place, including limiting capacity through the new ticket system, one-way routes around the galleries with entry via the Gas Hall entrance on Edmund Street, masks to be worn throughout visits, hand-sanitising stations throughout the building, and enhanced cleaning regimes.
These have begun and you can find more information here and here.
Remember that if you are staying elsewhere in England until 20 September you can use this website to find what might be open where you are.
Please be aware that because of the rapidly developing situation in Birmingham, some ‘in-person’ events may be cancelled at short notice, so please check the websites before setting off.
But you will also find many online events that you can enjoy without leaving home.
Highbury Gardens will be open on Sunday 13 September 2-4pm. For more information see here.
“We are hosting a small scale, open air exhibition and launch of the Highbury’s Garden project. Please stay at home if you are unwell. Please bring masks and be prepared to stay in groups of less than 6 as you move around the exhibits and information desks.”
