Birmingham's Hidden Gems Revealed in New City Uncovered Programme
Brummies and visitors alike will have the chance to explore some of the city's most intriguing and hidden spaces next month, as a new programme of behind-the-scenes experiences launches. City Uncovered: Birmingham is set to run from Monday, May 18, to Sunday, May 31, featuring more than 20 limited-run experiences that offer exclusive access to places, people, and stories across the city.
Exclusive Access to Historic and Cultural Sites
Highlights of the programme include stepping inside the historic Coffin Works Museum for an after-hours experience, providing a unique glimpse into Birmingham's industrial past. Additionally, participants can discover the city's world-famous Balti Triangle through a dedicated food tour, exploring the rich culinary heritage that has made this area renowned.
Other experiences in the programme allow visitors to go behind the scenes at The School of Jewellery with a hands-on workshop, join a craft beer tasting at a local Birmingham brewery, or delve into the city's cultural and creative history through walking tours, street art experiences, and TV and film location tours.
Encouraging Exploration and New Perspectives
Designed for both residents and visitors, City Uncovered aims to encourage people to spend more time exploring Birmingham, offering fresh perspectives on familiar places. This initiative is part of a wider programme also launching in Bristol, Bath, and Brighton this spring, with Birmingham among the first cities to host it.
The programme has been organised by Yuup, an experiences marketplace that works closely with hosts, venues, and creatives to bring these unique opportunities to life. City Uncovered: Birmingham is supported by Visit Birmingham and The Jewellery Quarter BID, helping to spotlight the independent businesses, creative communities, and venues that make the city truly unique.

Tickets for these exclusive experiences will be released in the coming weeks, with limited capacity across all events.
