Our day will be officially opened by local dignitaries and there will be fun activities for all ages including dressing up and photo opportunities. There will also be stalls from local groups and societies, and refreshments to keep you going. Live and recorded music in a range of styles. You will be able to explore our 800-year-old Grade I listed church building (where Bishop Vesey is buried) and our modern Trinity Centre. Weather and height restrictions permitting, you can climb the church tower and see unrivalled views over the town and region. You can also see our ancient sundial and the gravestone of Mary Ashford in the grounds of our conservation site which includes the colourful Vesey Gardens. Costumed characters from Sutton Coldfield's past will be walking between Open Day areas in the historic Conservation Area of the Town, meeting and greeting visitors.
