Birley Spa Bath House History Talk and Tour

Birley Spa, Birley Spa Lane, Hackenthorpe, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S12 4ED

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Guided tour of Sheffield's only Victorian Bath House with a spring-fed plunge pool. Learn about its colourful history, its importance in our city's working-class heritage and the wildlife that call it home.

We offer a unique opportunity to learn about the site at Birley Spa, and its history from ancient to modern, including our plans for the future. The talk and tour will be around 45 minutes, visitors will also be able to view the Bath House and plunge pool. We will then have a short walk around the grounds, hopefully, see some of the residents of the Spa, maybe even the Kingfisher and we will give an insight into how much the area has changed over the years. We will also talk about the ongoing restoration work being carried out around the pond by Sheffield Countryside Conservation Trust funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
