Join the popular guide Kevin Thomas on this walking tour, in association with Brum YODO as part of A Matter of Life and Death Festival 2024.

The Birmingham catacombs are one of the city’s best kept secrets. Join us and learn about their fascinating past on the full Moon tour. Don’t miss out!

  • The druid burial that looks like it should be at Stonehenge
  • The grave of Alfred Bird of Birds custard
  • The man who invented tennis.
  • The inventor of the lightbulb
  • The JQ connection with the Titanic
  • The Avery scales family
  • The printer whose embalmed body was moved around Birmingham.

The walk takes approximately two hours and involves walking over uneven ground, so sturdy footwear, and good mobility is recommended.
