Satan's Birmingham

Some say 'the devil is in the detail' and for Satan's Birmingham, local historian Ben Waddington will be looking at just this: elements of the city that suggest a demonic presence around us.

Lucifer, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, the Beast, Satan… the names we give the Devil are legion. Some say 'the devil is in the detail' and for Satan's Birmingham, local historian Ben Waddington will be looking at just this: elements of the city that suggest a demonic presence around us. Horned figures, cloven hooves and neatly clipped goatees appear in the city's pavements, public art and architecture. The city's history bears many satanic disciples, anti-Christians and dabblers in the dark arts. If you dare, join Ben on this 75 minute city walk. Booking ahead is essential.

Meet at the canal bridge near Celebrity Balti on Broad Street (approx 44 Broad St, Birmingham B1 2HP).

Ben will also be exploring Birmingham’s lost cinemas on Sunday.

This event is now sold out, but is running again May 1st at 12pm. Book tickets here.
