Overview

This is a tour that immerses you in the local culture and a chance to understand the city's diverse communities. Handsworth has a bad reputation, but it also has a strong character with diverse people who live in the area from musicians, celebrities and sports. The area has been visited by Prince Charles and many others. They say that to find the real heartbeat of the city you have to visit the gritty areas that most tourists are told to avoid. The BHWN team will safely guide you through this historic area to capture the unique history of the African Caribbean community in the city.

What an amazing experience my partner and I had on this tour. My partner grew up in Birmingham but rediscovered this treasure hidden in plain site. We learnt the history that isn't spoken about that created what we know today as modern Birmingham. An abosuletely must do tour!!

Learning about the reality of things we thought we knew and hearing an unbiased truth of past times was very interesting.Our guide Marcia was a really great guide. Her knowledge of the heritage around Handsworth is amazing. We would highly recommend this tour. It was raining when we were out and Marcia was really kind to us and made us a cup of tea at the centre when we got back so that we could dry out.

I had a wonderful experience on the Madiba walk with Marcia. The was filled with history and Marcia is a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much about how Jamaicans and Asians came to Birmingham and really settled into the area. I would have loved to go on another tour of a different area, however my flight plan did not permit me the time. If I ever find myself in Birmingham again, I'll be sure to check the Black Heritage Walk Network for more opportunities.
