Birley Spa is Sheffield’s only Victorian bath house with a spring-fed plunge pool.
On Fridays–Sundays throughout Heritage Open Days, head down to learn about this Grade II listed building’s history. Discover its importance to the city’s working class heritage, and the wildlife that now call it home.
After viewing the bath house and plunge pool, you'll then take a short walk around the grounds and hopefully see some of its residents – maybe even the kingfisher. You'll also hear how the area has changed over the years, and about the restoration work currently being carried out around the pond by Sheffield Countryside Conservation Trust.
The talk and tour will be around 45 minutes.
Talk/tour times:
Fridays – 1:30pm and 3pm
Saturdays and Sundays – 11am, 1:30pm and 3pm
The main site is free to explore but the talk must be pre-booked – to book, contact Fiona Milne on 07494529747 / fiona.friendsofbirleyspa@gmail.com.
