SUMMARY:Heritage Open Day: Heritage Meets Innovation - Dudley College Inspired Campus
DESCRIPTION:For the first time ever\, Dudley College’s Inspired Campus on Venture Way opens its doors for Heritage Open Day\, offering a rare glimpse inside one of the town’s most modern learning environments. This is a unique opportunity to explore how heritage can be interpreted through innovation. \nTour the campus — including its TV studio\, creative spaces\, and digital workshops — and learn how today’s students engage with the past using the tools of tomorrow. Expect a fresh and exciting take on heritage\, with activities\, displays\, and possibly live demonstrations (programme to be confirmed closer to the day). \nAs a key part of Brierley Hill’s ongoing regeneration\, the Inspired Campus offers a different kind of heritage story — one rooted in learning\, aspiration\, and community transformation. \nJust a short walk from Harry’s Café\, Albion Street Church\, and the bustling Market\, the campus adds a new dimension to your Heritage Open Day route. After soaking in the high-tech spaces\, why not contrast your experience with the historic architecture of St Michael’s or St Mary’s Church\, or take in the storytelling magic of the Graves at Nightwalk? \nIt’s the perfect stop for those curious about the future as well as the past.

SUMMARY:Heritage Open Day: St Michael's Church
DESCRIPTION:St Michael’s Church invites you to experience a rich tapestry of local history\, architecture\, and wartime remembrance. Explore the early 19th-century building through guided tours\, revealing how the Oxford Movement influenced its spiritual and architectural development. \nTry your hand at ringing the 150-year-old Whitechapel handbells\, or climb up to the ringing chamber for a rare look behind the scenes. Children and adults alike are welcome to take part in interactive activities\, including colouring and crafts. \nThe acclaimed WWII exhibition returns with compelling local content: Luftwaffe maps showing Brierley Hill as a target\, documentation on civil defence\, the story of the “Brierley Hill Spitfire\,” and tributes to local war casualties. This moving tribute captures the town’s resilience and sacrifice. \nVisitors last year praised the “uplifting” church atmosphere\, “excellent exhibitions\,” and “amazing stories about local heroes.” One person wrote: “Being in the church is uplifting. The amazing glass windows and the Brierley Hill Crystal.” Another said\, “We had a lovely blessing celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary. We were married in this church in 1959.” \nPart of the wider town celebration\, it’s a short walk to Brierley Hill Library\, St Mary’s Church\, and the “Graves at Night” walk.

SUMMARY:Have a go at handbell ringing
DESCRIPTION:When Tim and Jenny took over the bell ringing in the tower they found scattered around the ringing room a set of old bells.  Some were cracked\, some were missing clappers.  On others the handles had come off.  Supported by grants from the Fisher Trust and St Michael’s Church the bells were sent of to be refurbished…and then it was discovered that they were over 150 years old and made by the same foundry that made Big Ben and the Liberty Bell in America! \nThis is a chance for you to have a go at ringing these precious bells.  It’s quick to get a tune out of and a great chance to video yourself.  We’ll also cover the ‘tunes’ church bell ringers play on a Sunday morning.  Fun for all ages. \nSessions run for about 30 minutes.  No need to book.

SUMMARY:Handbell ringing
DESCRIPTION:Fancy a go at handbell ringing…well now’s your chance AND use some very special bells.\nWhen the church bell ringing at Brierley Hill was revived in 2017\, ringers came across a set of dilapidated handbells in the ringing room. \nSome of the bells were cracked; some had clappers missing; many leather handles had rotted away. \nThanks to a grant from the Fisher Trust and support from St Michael’s Church grants were achieved to refurbish the bells. To our amazement it was discoverd that the bells were 150 years old and manufactured by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry – the same company that made Big Ben and the Liberty Bell! \nThe bells have been loaned to schools for Christmas activities and the song writers compling the Brierley Hill Songbook. \nNOW IS THE CHANCE FOR YOU TO HAVE A GO ON THESE HERITAGE BELLS. IN THIRTY MINUTES OR LESS WE THINK YOU WILL MANAGE TO GET A GOOD TUNE FROM THEM! You are welcome to use your phones or other gadgets to record your performance!!!
