Sunday 25th October - Twice Tried, Twice Hanged, Twice Buried: Josh Allen’s grisly tour of places associated with Perry Barr’s infamous coin forger and probable murderer William Booth.

Saturday 31st October - Baskerville’s Body: a Halloween walk around Birmingham city centre following the posthumous journey of printer John Baskerville, “Birmingham’s most well-travelled corpse” - with Jen Dixon.
