Get a completely new perspective on the city with our Dawn and Dusk Canoeing trips, starting from the hidden gem of The Roundhouse, and taking in some of the most spectacular buildings in Birmingham, as seen from the waterways. Choose to see either the sun rise or set on the city, and draw inspiration for your writing from what you see. Beginners welcome: you’ll be taken out with an experienced canoeist and guide. After an hour on the canals, you’ll return to The Roundhouse for a hot drink and a writing workshop.

Suitable for adults and children aged 8 and over. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
