Interesting that, Heritage Opendays are a baby of the National trust who insist that entry should be free.HI Lyn - the open day on September Heritage day has been free in previous years - this is the first year (to my knowledge) that there has been a charge. Guess the council needs to get some cash from somewhere...........
My understanding is that there is a charge for membership, various categories, and then free entry.its been a long time since i have been...is there a charge to visit

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery confirms reopening

Be wary it is a commitment regarding the Art Collection only. There are other important artifacts which belong to the citizens of Birmingham. There also seems to be some dispute about the figures alleged to be in the financial shortfall.The Museum and Art Gallery is saying they will not be selling off any of their Collection to fund the Council's debts so that's good news!

No, it's free admission still Lyn. It will be interesting to see what changes have been made, hopefully most of the previous exhibits will eventually still be there (I believe it isn't fully open yet) and the city haven't gone too "woke" on us.its been a long time since i have been...is there a charge to visit
