Experience 600 years of History We offer a range of illustrated talks and guided tours at Selly Manor, looking at the background to the houses and the local history. These must be booked in advance and a visit can be tailored to your group's needs. Talk & Tour of Selly Manor A tour of the manor with one of our experienced guides, looking at the history of the buildings and the beautiful period furniture collection, last for about an hour. The tour can be complimented with a illustrated talk about the development of the buildings, including the fascinating removal and relocation of the buildings by George Cadbury. The talk lasts for approximately 45 minutes and includes dozens of archival maps, photographs, paintings and sketches of the buildings. We are happy to provide simple refreshments such as tea and coffee. We can also recommend several local places for food if you are looking for something more substantial. Tours of Bournville Our guides can offer a tour of the famous garden village of Bournville, created by chocolate manufacturer George Cadbury and today managed by Bournville Village Trust. Tours include a visit to the village green, and explanation of the public buildings created for residents and viewing the varied architecture of the many houses. Bournville walking tours last for approximately 30 minutes, although again they can be adjusted to suit your interests.
