The Winterbourne Press

Winterbourne is home to several 19th century printing presses which are now used for workshops, demonstrations and for making cards and bags sold in Winterbourne’s gift shop.

On most Wednesdays and Fridays volunteers demonstrate the presses and are happy to chat to visitors about their use.

There is a strong link between Birmingham and the history of print, a relationship which is now being developed as part of the University of Birmingham’s joint initiative with Birmingham City University entitled the Centre for Printing History and Culture.
