The Birmingham Assay Office is pleased to be a partner in Brilliantly Birmingham 2009. To mark the 10th anniversary of Brilliantly Birmingham, The Birmingham Assay Office is offering limited places on its popular Silver Visits programme.

Visitors will be met with a warm welcome, including coffee and biscuits before the visit, and afterwards, in the Gift Shop, they will be able to buy gifts such as books and silver items all made in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and hallmarked at The Birmingham Assay Office.  There are lots of Christmas Gift ideas for that someone special…..
