10 Year Anniversary for Stirchley Baths in 2026

January 2026 will be the 10th Anniversary of the opening of the refurbished Stirchley Baths Community Hub. The centre has been hugely successful and we would like to celebrate these first ten years with a series of celebratory events and activities for groups, users, staff and the wider Stirchley community.

We’re very keen to hear about the sorts of things you would like to be included in the celebrations . Contact us at stirchleybathsstakeholders@gmail.com  

Opening of Centre in Jan 2016

First Birthday Party!

Centre Refresh

Good stuff – the centre is currently getting a bit of a paint refresh  thanks to UK Shared Prosperity Funding. The Main Hall will be done later on in the year. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused but the end result will be great.

New creative classes at the Baths – ATHENA’S OWLS

Free Greek Myth Craft Workshops (Children 6+)
@ Stirchley Baths

Athena’s Owls is a series of free Saturday workshops with children and young families in 2025. The workshops will blend storytelling inspired by Greek Myths with practical and creative activities.

For the winter / early spring programme, they will run three indoor sessions with the wonderful Stirchley Baths. You and your children will enjoy story time inspired by characters and tales from ancient Greece, such as Icarus, Pandora or Medusa, followed by craft activities about the myths we will explore together. These workshops will take place 10-11am on the below dates:

• Saturday 22nd February
• Saturday 22nd March
• Saturday 19th April

You can book your places at: athenasowls-bmca.eventbrite.co.uk
Please note booking in advance is advised. These sessions are recommended for children age 6+ and they must be accompanied by a guardian throughout the event.

If you have any questions about the workshops or have accessibility requirements, please contact: oonagh.classics@gmail.com
These events are organised by the Birmingham and Midlands Classical Association and funded by the Classical Association.
