Welcome to Safeside @ Eastside

Safeside is a state-of–the-art, scenario-based, experiential learning centre that provides an innovative, interactive and enjoyable learning experience, inspiring visitors to think and act safely.

It features a full size indoor street scene including road crossing, bus, train, canal, car, house, police station, court room, dark alleyway, food store and post office. Key issues of fire, road, water, travel and personal safety are covered along with input on vandalism, drugs and alcohol, consequences of crime, environmental responsibilities and what to do in an emergency. Find out about our programmes using the menu at the top.

We are managed and funded by West Midlands Fire Service and opened in early 2009 alongside the new Fire Service Headquarters on Vauxhall Road, Nechells.
