This early evening tour will provide an opportunity to hear from Oval on how they have come to house over 400 creative businesses in their unique workspaces across Digbeth, how they are responding to market challenges and changing working practices, and their aspirations to deliver further transformative regeneration inspired by the creative quarter’s rich heritage.

The tour will commence at 16.15 at the Custard Factory reception and will conclude with a tour around Oval’s latest major refurbishment project: The Bond. Located on the Grand Union Canal, The Bond offers workspace, conference and event facilities, and is well known as the home of Channel 4’s ‘Late Night Lycett’.
