A chance to view this stunning Grade-I listed parish church, where Bishop Vesey is buried, and its partner building the Trinity Centre, to climb the church tower and engage in a range of activities with local craft and heritage groups in Sutton Coldfield.

Holy Trinity Parish Church will be celebrating the national Heritage Open Day theme of Everyday Stories through historical links of people in the church and town. Our day will be officially opened by local dignitaries.  There will be fun activities for all ages including dressing up and photo opportunities.  

Our theme will enable us to continue to gather stories if individuals and families who currently live, study or work in our Town, as we approach the 500^th anniversaries of Royal charters in 2027-8.  Refreshments will keep you going and there should be some live music too. You can also see our ancient sundial and the gravestone of Mary Ashford in the grounds of our conservation site which include the colourful Vesey Gardens.

Tower tours
The tower has high individual steps in a spiral staircase which is why there is a lower height limit for children, and those with any experience of vertigo should not attempt the climb.  It is also an awkward exit at the top onto the tower parapet.  Parents wishing to take very small children up as well as those with heart or lung condition are asked to sign an insurance disclaimer form. There is a video ‘tour’ of the tower climb and views.

How to get there
Holy Trinity is at the top of the hill in central Sutton Coldfield at the junction of High Street (A5127), Coleshill Street and Mill Street. Entrance up Church Hill or by foot from top of Trinity Hill. It is a 5 minute walk from Sutton Coldfield Rail Station and Gracechurch Shopping Centre. Car parking on the day is for disabled badge holders and drop-off only.
