Christmas at the Birmingham Back to Backs
Thank you to everyone who joined us during our Christmas 2024 celebrations. We’ll update this page with details of our Christmas 2025 offer in November.
Guided tours
Step back in Christmas-time at the Birmingham Back to Backs this year. From the 26th November, each of the houses will be festooned with traditional decorations - including George Saunders tailors shop; where you'll find a 70s style Christmas - with tons of tinsel, a box of roses and a string of Christmas cards behind the reception desk.
Making a visit this Christmas even more special - and the perfect reason to come back again, or even start a new Christmas tradition.
Book your visit to the Birmingham Back to Backs here.
Birmingham City University students will be helping us create Christmas decorations again this year. The decorations they make will be used to decorate the bookshop.

Buy a sustainable Christmas gift
Second-hand books are the gift that keeps on giving. If you're looking to reduce your environmental impact this Christmas, buy some gifts from Court 15 Books. Second-hand books make great Secret Santa presents and we have lots of children's and young adult books in excellent condition.
Learn more about our second-hand bookshop here.
Mince pie brownies
A festive twist on a classic brownie, these indulgent mince pie brownies make for a great dessert and are a great way to use up any leftover mince pies.
