Accessable toilet. Fantastic up to date notice board From messy play to craft groups and everything in between, there’s something for everyone at Sense They also have space for sport activities like dance and yoga even have an art studio.Here they believe everyone should be able to take part in life, no matter their disability. · via Google [Nafnlaus](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105156938588466315981/reviews) ★★★★★ I'm not sure if any people with sensory sensitivity were consulted in the design of this building but it is lit harshly and very non inclusive in this respect. The open plan office style also does not suit neurodivergent staff needs. There are no quiet booths or sit-stand ergonomic facilities when I have attended for work. · via Google [rebecca g](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115652024572160522736/reviews) ★★★★★ I attendied recently for a networking event. First off, the location is ridiculously hard to find by Satnav as it will tell you that you have arrived and you are on the main road! Being so busy, you hadn't even got much time to think slow down as it's so busy with a roundabout and a lot of traffic in that area. Note to all - whenever you put the address in your satnav and it tells you that you've arrived - take the left at the lights as the venue is behind the front row of shops ... Anyway, the venue itself - lovely! Modern, spacious, and clean . Loved the back history month display when we were there too. · via Google [Rob Vince](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116107686690515268773/reviews) ★★★★★ The lovely community centre with the bizarre name. Cafe with play area. Small Birmingham library but with loads of children's books. Many function rooms and events. The only downside was I couldn't find anywhere to lock a bike but turns out there's a bike shed - you have to ask for the code. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4870bdce2bae7bbb:0x834fc1801198633e!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 750 Bristol Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham, B29 6NA [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=52.4416308%2C-1.9375228) **Category** Arts & Crafts Workshops **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (322 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Birmingham [More attractions in Birmingham](https://staycation.co.uk/birmingham/attractions) ★ 4.6 (322 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.sense.org.uk/places/touchbase-pears/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [0121 415 2720](tel:01214152720) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Birmingham **Postcode** B29 6NA **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C4WC3R6+MX [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4870bdce2bae7bbb:0x834fc1801198633e!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4870bdce2bae7bbb:0x834fc1801198633e!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4870bdce2bae7bbb:0x834fc1801198633e!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Birmingham Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
