***EVENT NOW SOLD OUT***

This event is part of Birmingham Heritage Week 2026, celebrating our city’s role through time in shaping humanism as we know it today.

Walk in the Footsteps of Freethinkers:

Birmingham Humanists and Humanist Heritage have joined forces for this guided walk through Birmingham’s radical past. This two-mile journey explores the lives and legacies of the city’s secular pioneers—thinkers, writers, scientists, and activists—who challenged convention and shaped a more inclusive future.

Starting in Brindley Place and ending at Key Hill Cemetery, we’ll uncover stories of courage, community, and conviction. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a curious local, or simply keen to explore Birmingham through a humanist lens, this walk offers a fresh perspective on the city’s rich heritage.
