Event Description
Join the RTPI West Midlands Young Planners and Node for a walking tour around the Jewellery Quarter.
Hear about the JQ’s unique heritage, see some of its most important historic buildings and explore how its townscape continues to evolve through new development (including the Setl residential development, and Great Charles Street mixed-use scheme).
The tour will visit key locations within the JQ, recently completed and under-construction developments and includes a taster tour around the Coffin Works Museum.
Join us for an informal social following the event at the Indian Brewery Taproom.

- Car Parking is available at several sites within a short walk of the venue.
- The start venue is accessible by taxi but please do check for road works before you travel as that part of the city centre is currently undergoing road works.
The Coffin Works and the Indian Brewery Taproom are both fully wheelchair accessible. However, please note that the nature of this event as a walking tour does involve approximately a few kilometres of walking around the Jewellery Quarter, which does have some uneven footpaths, steps and cobbles.
