Free tickets for Cadbury World are being offered as part of a Heritage Days event, pairing a short talk with entry to the attraction. It sits somewhere between a local history lecture and a family day out, and will appeal if you like the heritage side of big British brands as much as the chocolate. Compared with a standard Cadbury World visit, the focus here starts with context, Bournville’s model village roots, the Cadbury family story, and how the business grew, then you head in for your own look around.

Who will get the most out of this session?

Anyone curious about Birmingham’s industrial and social history will enjoy the 45 minute presentation, and families can treat it as a calmer start before exploring the exhibits at their own pace. The self guided format means you can linger where you want, rather than being moved along in a group.

  • History talk: 10:00am to 10:45am
  • Cadbury World entry: self guided tour from 11:00am
