Birmingham Rep Production on Tour – Stories to Tell in the Middle of the Night at Stirchley Baths on Sunday March 5, 6.30pm

Written and Performed by the critically acclaimed Francesca Millican-Slater, this amusing and gripping collection of short quirky tales is reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s stories for adults.

Dreamlike and darkly humorous, this live, late night radio show is inspired by the legendary radio shows of Ronnie Wood and Iggy Pop and includes tales of everything from love and obsession to technology and disconnection. Not to mention Pork Pies !!

Age recommended 16+ (Contains some mild swearing and sexual references)

Game On! Good Old-Fashioned Fun at Stirchley Baths

During this half-term holiday, join us for our first Board Game Café and some good old-fashioned fun!

We’ve got stacks of board games to play as well as Bingo, Hopscotch, a Trivia Quiz and the game show classic; Play Your Cards Right! History Activity Trails around the building are also available.

Drop in. No need to book. Free family event in the Cinema Room. All ages and experience levels welcome. Children under 14 must be supervised.

Feel free to bring your own food and drinks. ChangeKitchen Café will also be open serving a family-friendly menu during the event.

If you have any old games you would be happy to donate for this, and future events, please drop these off at the Baths before 21 Feb.

 

 

Game Design Challenge for 12-16 year olds during half term

We all learn more when we’ve having fun, right?

How fantastic would it be to have a few games available for visitors to play in the cafe and on event days to help people understand and enjoy even more our wonderfully historic Stirchley Baths!

If you are aged between 12-16, have a creative flair, enjoy playing games, working as a part of a team and are up for a challenge, then this game-filled intensive day may be just perfect for you. Graphic Designer Paul Tranter will be on hand to work with the teams to create artwork from which we can develop some game prototypes after the session. We’re not expecting the games to make it to retailers, but we do want to create some actual games which can be played by the public in the future.

Need to get inspired? Then why not pop in with your family the day before for our free Game On! event where you’ll be able to play a range of traditional and popular games and get ideas flowing…
