“Very chaotic, there’s a severe lack of structural segregation. Which causes backlog and over stays, which leads to further crowding. The space is so minimal, which really took us by surprise. A number of adults seemed out for themselves, dominating tables literally taking up space and holding up children from places at build and play work stations. Very frustrating considering there’s adults specific days/nights. Very unlikely to return.”

“Our guide (Jonathan Berg) was knowledgeable and friendly, and whilst I live in Birmingham and have been in some of the places we visited, it was really interesting to hear the history of it and have some of the dots joined up. A lot of new developments are happening in the city, and it was good to see these too and to have hidden gems pointed out, like what is inside the new sphere in one of the locations in the Jewellery Quarter. I also went along parts of the canal and crossed a bridge I have never been on, in the 47 years that I have been in Brum!…”
