Keeping everyone safe

In order to keep our staff and visitors safe we have extensive security measures in place across all of our venues that are both overt and covert. These include but are not limited to CCTV, regular security patrols and alarm systems. We are also in regular contact with West Midlands Police, Project Servator and our local Counter Terrorism Security Advisor as well as other security specialists in order to keep our systems and procedures up to date.

If you see anything suspicious or that doesn’t seem right at any of our venues, please speak to a member of staff. See it, say it, sorted.

We're dog friendly!

Well behaved dogs, kept on leads, are welcome to join you on your visit. Our staff will provide water and drinking bowls.

Assistance dogs are welcome inside all of our historic properties, gardens and shops. Non-Assistance dogs are not allowed in the historic spaces.
