Birmingham Beyond Belief: A Humanist Heritage walk

Join Birmingham Humanists and Humanist Heritage to discover an alternative history of the city, introducing some of the freethinking rebels and radicals who challenged the system and fought for change.

Formed in 1962, Birmingham Humanists continue a well-established local tradition of non-religious community and action, encompassing a vast range of thinkers, writers, scientists, politicians, and activists.

During this roughly two mile walk, beginning outside Ikon Gallery and finishing at Key Hill Cemetery, we’ll follow in the footsteps of some of these fascinating figures, highlighting the places they met, spoke, were laid to rest, and are commemorated.

Please meet at the Ikon gallery

Organised by Birmingham Humanists and Humanist Heritage
