The Carillon Visitor Centre.
After being closed for many years in consequence of vandalism, the 'Rest House' was established in 1997 as the 'Bournville Carillon Visitor Centre '. Situated in the centre of Bournville Village Green, this historic building is well worth a visit in it's own right.
Open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 16:00 (except for the month of January).
