The Back to Backs by Candlelight

As part of Birmingham Light Festival 2026, come along to explore the Birmingham Back to Backs in the atmospheric glow of candlelight.

Step into the Birmingham Back to Backs and experience a guided tour in a whole new light. Discover the extraordinary lives of the ordinary people who once called Court 15 home, and journey through more than 200 years of local working-class history on this 90-minute tour. The tour offers a glimpse into the resilience, traditions, and daily routines of the people who lived in the community.
