Went for a 5 K jog on the recommendation of local friends. Wonderful place in the sun. Mostly tarmac paths with some gravel ones. Watch out for the cows. I have heard that there are ponies as well. Parking is free at the moment. However, where I parked, I needed to be aware of potholes in the parking areas. One nasty one on the narrow entrance road. But don't let that put you off. Get there and enjoy it in the sun.
It’s a really beautiful park. Honestly, anyone who visits and gets a chance to try the grilled calamari here will find it worth it. The atmosphere is incredible, and it’s also right by the lake, which adds to the charm. It’s a very scenic spot. There’s a restaurant nearby in case anyone gets hungry, and overall, the park is huge. Behind it, there’s also a forest — as you can probably tell from the photo — where you might feel like you could get lost, but in reality, it’s easy to find your way back. The landscape is stunning and perfect for anyone who’s craving a bit of adventure. If I had to point out something negative, it would be because of animals like cows and others roaming around, which means there’s quite a lot of droppings scattered around. I think it needs to be cleaned more regularly so the park can reach its full potential. Even so, if you live nearby, it’s a great place to visit every weekend, especially since options are limited. In general, it just needs a bit of cleaning — maybe during the week. But overall, it’s a wonderful place to visit
It's a very extensive park. The park is huge and there's a chance you can definitely get lost if you go off the main paths, but there is some signage. Nevertheless, it's a very beautiful park and great for exploring and getting in touch with nature. There was some decent foliage, but I found most off the beaten paths. Managed to capture a few photos on my visit.
The best and highlight of my trip to Birmingham! The park is so beautiful and peaceful, it has plenty of entrances, has cows grazing and has a few cafe and restaurants in the park itself.
You forget you're in a city when yourein this park. It has a little bit of something for everyone. Lakes, streams, rugged ground, paved walked, cafe, bar, semi-feral free-roaming horses, playground for kids. Shame theyve removed the carvery, which was perfect for after a long Sunday walk. Large enough to get a bit lost. Small enough to find your way out eventually.
So much to see here, you can take a different direction and take in all the new sights. Plus there is kids parks, ice cream vans and plenty of parking around ❤️
Lovely large park with fabulous trees and woodland as well as open spaces and lakes. Great place to lose yourself taking a long walk on a lovely sunny day. Adequate car parking at the gates and a visitors centre with a Costa coffee close to the children’s play area and leisure centre.
Fantastic place for great walks,massive park,and stroll into high st,Sutton for a couple of beers.👌😁

Amazing water park with lots of activities for the family. Finding parking is easy enough and once you're there you can go on bike rides (also available to hire), go for a walk or jet ski. There's also a playground area for children, tourist centre and stunning views. We didn't want to wait in the queue for an ice cream so went to the cafe instead- where there is a good selection of food and drinks There was also a bouncy castle and bungee jumping available when we went Highly recommend a visit- you won't be disappointed
Lots of area to walk and explore. There are bikes and trikes to hire, ducks to feed and fishes to catch. There is a Good cafe, icecream shop and toilets there. There is jet ski stunts to watch for. And if you are lucky you might even see RC model boat racing happening at one of the members dedicated place. There is plenty of woodland and water body to explore. I would recommend for a day out with family
Kingsbury Water Park is a wonderful place to visit and we had such a lovely day out. Even in the winter cold, the walks around the lakes were beautiful and perfect for taking the dog. The scenery is peaceful and well looked after, with plenty of information boards about the local wildlife and the nature of the lakes, which really added to the experience. We were lucky enough to catch a miniature boat race on the water, which was great fun to watch. The children’s play areas are brilliant, and the little railway is a real highlight – even though we didn’t go on it, it was still very entertaining to watch. The café was welcoming and served the most delicious hot chocolates, just what you need on a chilly day. Parking is £5 for the whole day, which we thought was excellent value. We’d definitely recommend a visit!
Can't beat Kingsbury Water Park. Always first thought of for a family day out, £5 parking all day! Huge park to go exploring with the kids, a good size playing area too! If you're lucky, you will see some baby ducks! Great for outdoor exploring, great for families, dog walkers, fishing, and so much more. Well looked after and always and enjoyable family day out.
Nice park visited during school holidays hence it wasn’t easy finding a parking space at first. Free admission, paid £6 for parking. Well maintained walkways and many lakes, really nice place with a miniature train, playgrounds for the kids and a cafe, well worth a visit
Lovely place to walk around with plenty of parking in various areas. There is even a sailing club, so great to see. There is a giant play area for the children. There's even a little train.
What a fabulous place to get lost in! I walked from the campsite on a busy Sunday but met very few people until I reached the msin visitor car park. Here there were toilets, cafe, seating, a huge play area and a little train station. There's plenty of walks, lakes and wildlife and a great day out for young and old. Cafe was slow and seemed a bit inadequate, it took me a long time queuing just to get a takeout cup of tea. And it was difficult to try and follow the coloured trails as at junctions signposting was sometimes missing but these are minor issues.
Amazing place to spend the day. You can walk around the area, feed the ducks spend the day with your children, have lunch or even a picnic if the weather is nice. There are also games for disabled children so they can fun too. Highly recommended. We are definitely visit the park again when we go to the area next time.

Visited specifically cafe ceramics, which is a place to be creative in a friendly atmosphere. I've often visited the restaurant just for cake and coffee. The food looks inviting. The shops are quirky. Totally different to your everyday shops, so totally worth a visit.
Really nice place and food is very good and decent value, few nice shops to look in, will 100% go back for a full English it looked great, the cakes also looked wonderful, exactly the same menu as the strawberry cabin in tamworth so presume they are the same family or something.
Mitchell's Shopping is decent overall, though it has its ups and downs. The wool shop, which used to be a highlight, has sadly disappeared, leaving a bit of a void in the experience. The café has potential with a lovely menu, but the service tends to be slow, and there's a noticeable smell of old cooking oil that makes the atmosphere less inviting. It’s fine for a quick visit, but there’s room for improvement. Feel free to tweak it to suit your style! Let me know if you'd like me to adjust anything.
We went on a Sunday and there were hardly any shops open. The toilets were outside and were absolutely freezing. No radiators on in them, despite it being winter. Brrrrr!!!!! 🥶 Maybe this place is better on Saturdays?
Went for a group activity for my fisheye. Was very clean and plenty of parking. Bit of a sharp turn off the main road to get in so be observant.
Nice place to walk around. Free parking Toilets And place to eat
Lovely place to walk around RB hair salon would highly recommend
Looks really good. Nice place with interesting shops.

I love this place, really beautiful art! I have also requested commissions from thier artists whom are always happy to help!
What an amazing place. We had a look around Sunday morning with our 2 year old (brave!) Who loved the shop too. We'll definitely be back without him to look in more detail and buy a few things.
amazing shop been here so many times and purchased so many times too...jewellery is so different and one off's, paintings and furniture its definitely worth a visit...COVID safe too....
Inspiring collection of art , jewellery and ceramics. Prices are competitive and you don't feel under pressure to buy.
Really great artwork, unusual items if you want to have something different in your home or to give as a gift 🎁
Beautiful, artwork, jewellery, and modern quality furniture accessories. a hidden jewel for the lovers of real craft items.
Fabulously varied gallery with furniture, ceramics, glass, jewellery, wood, bronze and paintings. Great variety, you are bound to find something you like.
Really good place to go for art work and bespoke pieces of jewellery and furniture. Well worth a visit.

Love it great to shop
Lived in Sutton for most of my life. Gracefully was a lovely shopping centre. Now it's like a ghost town with more shops shut than open, so very sad. Great if you want to drink coffee or eat. Looking forward to when they entice some of the bigger shops back with 2 massive sites still empty. Always hoping that something like Primark would boost the town and other shops would benefit from increased footfall.
Stopped by Gracechurch Shopping Centre a couple of times recently, but sadly it didn’t leave much of an impression. The 1960s architecture gives it a dated feel, and the atmosphere isn’t particularly inviting. Many of the shops I’d normally use have closed or moved on, which makes the experience feel a bit hollow. It’s fine for a quick pop-in if you’re nearby, but not somewhere I’d go out of my way to visit.
Gloucester shopping centre is an amazing collection of retailers you won't find in most cities and towns now. I haven't spent so much money and time,4hrs! at the shops in ages,it was a great experience.
Once a thriving shopping center, Grace church centre has become another place of closing/closed shops, larger retailers have gone and there are more coffee shops competing with each other. Redevelopment is beginning, with apartments and offices above retail is the forward thinking. Independent shops appear, and are a welcome sight, but how do they survive in this low footfall area? Some don't stay long. Waterstones, Boots, Specsavers, Nationwide BS, House of Fraser, H&M, WHSmith are the main stays, and carparking is ample and average price. Aldi is the busiest shop today. A few years may bring a new shopping experience
It's not a bad place to shop the car park entry a bit daunting as it is a spiral driveway to parking spaces. There seems to be a good range of shops but it was quiet that maybe due to time of day. A good range of shops in the centre and parade. It was clean bright place to be. They had a beach area that was good for the kids to play in with buckets spades and deck chairs for adults.
a bit sad looking as many empty shops. it is clean and tidy place but overrun by school kids toilet is clean. they often do events like food fair. house of Fraser looks very boring as not much to get for presents. they do have cafe.
This shopping centre is now so run down and a disgrace to The Royal Town. So many empty shops and boarded up frontages. Avoid and go to Lichfield or Tamworth.

This place took me by surprise. I did not know of this lovely theatre which was about 3 miles away and set away from the main Bolmere Road. We saw a small production panto of Goldilocks which was funnier than anything I had seen in central Birmingham for many years. My daughter’s best friend was the little bear and she was excellent. The seating was great and had a cosy feel and the audience was inclusive in the performance. Yes it is small, but it had a bar, shop and sofas in the waiting areas. I would recommend supporting this theatre and similar around the West Midlands area.
Highbury is a small theatre, tucked in a residential street and looked after by a mixture of paid staff and volunteers. All the people I have come across are absolutely wonderful, so helpful and welcoming. Smaller acts can showcase themselves here and I've seen some fantastic performances. There is a small bar area, with really reasonable prices (nothing like the prices you pay at other theatres) and there's a cafe area too if tea or coffee is your preference. You can normally park on the side road. I think we are lucky to have this small theatre in our local area and I hope it keeps going to bring joy to me and others. I'm only giving 4 stars, not 5, based on the premises maybe needing a bit of a facelift, but I imagine that would cost the theatre too much to do, and would no doubt impact the prices they currently charge.
Saw a show here and I had to swap seats to the front as it's smaller than leg room in ryanair. The theatre is older and has more of a social club atmosphere to it but the seats need to be updated as we have legs
This hidden gem is a great little theatre providing first class entertainment all in house and a great variety of plays both classic and modern. Highly recommended!
A lovely local gem run by the performers. The production was delightfully earnest and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A great little theatre! I and my friend won an award for the vest original play script in a drama festival!
We had a very enjoyable evening watching Abigail's Party. The actors were amazing & I'd recommend everyone to see it. We felt so relaxed & chilled after enjoying this performance. Well done everyone concerned 😀
It was brilliant. A very different play. All actors was top class and got it down to a perfection. One moment crying next laughing . The staff where very kind and friendly helpful too as I am disabled. Will not be a last visit

Absolutely stunning and moving performance of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”. Maxim Adderley was an amazing star! First time at Sutton Arts Centre and will certainly be back.
Went yesterday with my partner for Halloween to see Wait Until Dark, bear in mind, it was both mine and his first time seeing this production ever -- that being said I was left on the edge of my seat (quite literally it was a good thing no one was sat in front of me as I was fully leant forward 😂) the way a small cast managed to play such a large variety of characters stunned me, as did the theatres use of visual and audio effects. I was highly invested in the performance and managed to memorise the plot to tell my mother what happened (which is impressive considering I am AWFUL at following things) -- all in all I'd recommend going to this theatre and giving one of their shows a watch as the atmosphere and value for money are both amazing. Thank you for the brilliant show 👏👏
Brilliant shows, such talented performers
This is a really sweet, intimate theatre. The seats are well raked and comfortable. The stage is large for a relatively small venue. The productions are all staged by amateurs, but the standard is extremely high. They even manage to stage full scale musicals and pantomimes with a live band! There is a good bar - very reasonably priced - with plenty of seating. All the staff are volunteers. Very friendly. Highly recommend. The only downside is the parking, which is in a pay and display carpark about 100 metres away.
Lovely little theatre . Very reasonable priced. But the last few plays have not been to there usual standard. It's a shame because the actors are top class. I think it speaks for itself as there where very few people in there. Please who ever is choosing the plays STOP. INSTATE THE ONE WJO CHOOSE THE FANTASTIC ONES WE CAME TO LOVE
A small local theatre near Sutyon Coldfield town centre. I've now joined as a member and taken the offer to attend every performance. £20 pa membership, £15 over 60's, £60 to attend all shows.The standard of the production - acting, scenery etc is excellent . Great value and an interesting mix of plays. There's a bar and hot drinks also served.
Lovely little theatre. Staff very welcoming. Reasonable leg room in seat and good view of the stage. Just been to see Funny Girl. The show was excellent. I would definitely recommend.
Lovely little theatre. We've been four times now and had such a good evening. The most unforgettable show though was the Dick Whittington panto... Was funny, well acted and just all round superb. Looking forward to the next visit. We much prefer this theatre to the bigger ones. The bar is very well priced too as are the snacks so all around its a winner.

Went to my best friend's wedding here as his best man. Honestly, this was the friendliest, most welcoming, relaxed church we've ever been to. Mandy, the vicar, and all her congregation were an absolute pleasure to spend this most special of times with. Thank you, one and all, for making our friends special day the best it could be.
Nice carol service friendly staff/helpers Good experience
Went to Midnight Mass on Christmas eve; 1st time for ages. Really enjoyed it. Everyone very friendly. I would have liked the church to have been a little less bright and that's from someone with poor eyesight !
Attended for a christening yesterday, our vicar Mandy was so lovely, even baptising Teddy too! So welcoming, involved everyone. Beautiful church, beautiful service 🙂
Wonderful church , very welcoming friendly people
As a club we hold a monthly meeting here in the church hall. A good chance to catch up with friends. Storage of anything is a major issue.
The La Ladies choir meet here on Thursday at 7.30 p.m. Come and join us!
Neighborhood watch meeting in hall at back, very good facility, kitchen and toilets, including disabled!
