Come and discover (or re-discover!) the history and architecture of St Chad's Church in Rubery. Designed by Richard Twentyman and awarded a Grade II listing in 2025, the beauty of this 1959 church both delights and surprises!

St Chad’s Church in Rubery was built as part of the Church of England Birmingham’s ‘Circles Without Centres’ programme in the 1950s. Like Twentyman’s other buildings, St Chad’s was constructed with an honest simplicity but with a real attention to detail; both the design and the materials used have stood the test of time. The inside of the building is perhaps its greatest strength – flooded with natural light, the space itself offering a warm welcome to all who enter.

The open day will include children's craft activities, a talk by architect, author and Twentyman specialist, Aidan Ridyard, a local history exhibition and some fabulous refreshments. Full details and a timetable for the day will be available on our website in August.
