- This event has passed.
The landscaping work on both Key Hill and Warstone Lane Cemeteries is almost completed. The contractors HFN Landscaping will be showing us around the site and explaining the work they have undertaken, plus a sneak preview of the Garden of Memory which will be completed later this year. There will also be a representative from Birmingham City Council Bereavement Services on hand to answer questions about how the cemeteries will be managed once the restoration is complete. The Activities Programme Manager for the Jewellery Quarter Cemeteries project will also be explaining future plans for events and volunteering activities.
We are meeting at Jewellery Quarter Station at 10am and will walk down to the site at Key Hill Cemetery together. Hi Vis vests will be provided for all visitors to ensure that we stay safe on site. Social distancing will be observed and numbers are strictly limited to ensure safety.
We will be walking around both cemeteries for approximately 1 hour. The newly resurfaced pathways provide good access but there are some areas of steep terrain. Please contact josie.wall@jqdt.org if you have any concerns or access requirements.
We advice the public to walk, cycle or use a private vehicle where possible to attend this event. Please note that a face covering should be worn on public transport. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or share a household with anyone who has symptoms, please do not attend. Follow government guidelines on self-isolation and testing.
