We’re very excited, we’re only few days from the grand opening. Here are a few smiley faces from our preview open evening to tell you just how long we have left to wait.
Only 4 sleeps to go
The final countdown….5 days to go.
Official Opening Ceremony of Stirchley Baths – January 14th
This newly renovated and refurbished grade II listed community facility will be formally opened by the Deputy Leader of the Council, Councillor Ian Ward alongside special guests. On the day there will be invited guests from the community, city council and our fantastic contractors to take part in the ceremony.
Entertainment will be provided by one of our Selly Oak District Arts Champions – Birmingham Opera Company. Stirchley Baths Heritage Volunteers, History Group and staff will be on hand as guides to show invited guests around to view the heritage interpretation and talk about the development of the building from dilapidated swimming pool to 21st century community asset.
Refreshments will be provided by ChangeKitchen CIC who currently run our cafe.
This will be a great opportunity to celebrate the contributions made by everyone who has had an involvement in the project.
General members of the pubic are invited to come and see us and take a look at the facility from January 18th.
