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

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.
