Residents in Sutton Coldfield have new options to support their iconic town hall on Heritage Day.
The event on September 9 is part of National Heritage Week.
In response to your feedback, Royal Sutton Coldfield Community Town Hall Trust (RSCCTHT) have made some improvements to our donations system to make it an easier and smoother process to support the Town Hall.
So what’s happening?
The trust is appealing for donations, but also offering a special Heritage Tour to unveil parts of the venue you might not know about and stop off for afternoon tea in the beautiful Crush Hall while you are at it.
The expected tour length is 25-30 minutes on foot.
The tours are free, but a £3 suggested donation per person would be appreciated.
(Unfortunately due to the listed nature of the building, these tours are not suitable for those in wheelchairs, prams or with severe mobility issues. If you have mobility issues and you would like a tour of the building, we would be happy to make alternative arrangements with you).

Did you know that we are a charity ?
The trust rust has managed the Town Hall since October 2016. Previously owned and managed by Birmingham City Council, several problems had affected the long-term viability of the Town Hall.
The Trust identified strategies and solutions for success, and since the takeover the priority has been to stabilise the Town Hall financially and form a solid foundation from which the trust is now able to build.
Where are we now?
After stabilising financially and diversifying the bookings, RSCCTHT has focussed on building greater diversity and higher utilisation of the Town Hall. Plans are now underway to transform some aspects of the building ready for the next century, whilst sympathetically restoring our heritage features.
There is still much work to be done to secure the venue, but with passionate support from locals, sponsors, town councillors and user groups, there is real faith in the success of RSCCTHT’s mission and a sense of an exciting future.
How can I help?
Royal Sutton Coldfield Community Town Hall Trust is seeking volunteers and sponsors to get involved with all aspects of the Town Hall operations, if you are interested in becoming a Friend of the Town Hall please contact Creative & Business Development Manager, Vicci Hogan on vicci.hogan@suttoncoldfieldtownhall.com
