See below for details of the trip

The coach will leave Welton Village Hall at 8am,  and return from the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery at 4pm.

Our first stop will be at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery (BM&AG) where we will drop off eight members, the rest will stay on the coach for the 10 minute journey to the Smith & Pepper Workshop Museum in the Jewellery Quarter.

For those going to the Jewellery Quarter:

• Everyone has been assigned to one of two tours.  (Check with Rosey if you are not sure which one you are on.)
• There is a  Craft and Culture Café Bar on the ground floor,  for refreshments either before or after your tour.   Other cafes are also nearby.
• There is a lift but you must let Rosey know in advance if you cannot manage stairs – just in case the lift is not working or in the unlikely event of a fire.
• After your tour you can peruse the local shops or make your way back to the BM&AG to enjoy the  various exhibitions.
• You must make your own way back to the BM&G in good time to board our coach, which will depart at 4pm. The easiest way to is to take the tram.  The ‘Jewellery Quarter’ Tram Stop is nearby and you will need to purchase a Zone 1 ticket from the machine at the stop.  (An adult single costs £2.50). It is a 12 minute journey to  the ‘Town Hall’ Tram stop, just by the Museum & Art Gallery.
