Christmas at the Birmingham Back to Backs
In 2024 we invite you to get into the festive spirit with a trip back in time this Christmas at the Back to Backs. We'll be decking the court with festive decorations, hand-made by our lovely volunteers, and we'll have lots of sustainable gift ideas in our second-hand bookshop.
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.

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.
