Top 22 things to do and attractions in Redditch

The staff are well versed on all aspects of this venue. It was a pleasure to visit,very well laid out and interesting throughout. Spent over 2 hrs here,worth every minute with a nice little cafe for snacks.Thanks. There was a lovely needlecraft display when we visited.

Beautiful place quite a lot to see very interesting and informative. Sensible price , nice cafe lovely walks archaeological site of the old abbey. At the moment until mid August they have a Titanic exhibit, one man’s collection

A place to go to for your local heritage history. They will tell you about how good the needle industry was in Redditch for many years plus a bit more especially when they have other exhibitions on their latest being the titanic witch was very interesting plus you can have a walk around the old abbey site

Such a lovely place. Lovely little park. Staff are always really friendly. Lovely hot drinks and cake. Kids love it here 🩷 Can also buy bird feed for 80p. You get a good amount and you can feed the ducks and swans behind the museum 🧡

The actual Forge Mill,to see round, is open on a Tuesday but th Visitor's Centre and "Cloister" restaurant attached to the shoo has quite an extensive collection of things from different eras of history, that have been found on the site of Bordesley Abbey which was well worth a 2nd visit - in fact I may have visited up to 6 times altogether. There are various seasonal activities to get involved with,if you want to take family and extended family along- best bit for me this time around was a gorgeous carrot and coriander soup and soft roll, served by kind kiosk ladies (it is open til 4.30 pm at the moment, followed by the all-important cuppa!

A big thankyou to the wonderful staff today helping to carve pumpkins with the children. Nothing was too much hassle. Well organised and excellent value for money. We are big fans of the school holiday activities and are looking forward to visiting again soon.

A well presented museum showing the unexpected number of processes involved in making needles, well worth a visit.

A beautiful spot to come for a jog, walk with pets or kids or for some solo time. Car parking is available outside and inside. The lake has boating options for members. It offers option for fishing and riding a cycle.

Can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this park so beautiful, the locals are very friendly, cafe and public toilets available. The leisure park is so much fun with so many different equipment for all ages. Beautiful view of the lakeside and big green spaces, perfect for family picnics and summer outings. Would defo recommend going.

Visited Arrow Valley Country Park while staying nearby for a wedding in Birmingham. It’s a very well-laid-out park centred around a large lake with a good variety of waterfowl. Plenty of dog walkers out enjoying the open space, which adds to the lively but relaxed atmosphere. Other features worth noting are the small waterway and weirs, which give the place a bit of extra charm. The café is spacious, with a comprehensive menu and friendly staff — a good spot to pause and take in the view. There are also small boats for hire, making it an excellent choice for families or groups looking for a day outdoors. Overall, it’s a pleasant, versatile park that’s easy to recommend for both a casual stroll and a longer visit.

A great place to take the kids out on their bikes/scooters. There are two playgrounds, one for smaller children and the other is suitable for 6years plus. There are lots of benches and picnic tables as well as a really lovely cafe.

Enjoyed a stroll around the lake and a visit to the restaurant. Very popular with dog walkers. Free parking.

Amazing place to visit for a day out with the family. Very well looked after. Lots to see and do

Recently visited Arrow Valley Country Park and had a fantastic time! The park offers a great walk with spacious areas and a beautiful lake. There are plenty of different trails to explore, catering to all levels of adventure. I stopped by the Boathouse for a bite to eat, and I must say, the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome. Arrow Valley Country Park is a peaceful and picturesque escape. It's perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for a bit of tranquility. I highly recommend it for a wonderful day out.

The Kingfisher Centre's Eduardo Paolozzi mosaics were officially unveiled in 1983. They are among the finest pieces of public art in the UK.

A clean and refreshing shopping centre with a great variety of stores. From coffee shops and designer brands to Savers, Primark, Boots, JD, and a range of perfume shops – there’s something for everyone. Unlike many other shopping centres, it’s pleasantly quiet, allowing you to browse and walk around at your own pace. Ideal for a relaxing shopping trip or a casual lunch. The car park is convenient, with a simple pay-as-you-leave system. Overall, a well-maintained and enjoyable place to shop.

Love it.. what a big mall.. excellent place to spend time on a bad weather day. Kids play area, lot of shops, eating joint. Parking is decently priced and I like it you do not have to walk in a bad weather as parking is enclosed and quite accessible to mall entrance. I use car park 4 always.

A gem of a place, bit dated due to customer ( younger) changing preferences, has a cinema, which was nice, what you would expect, Shopping choice in the normal chain stores, but the gems are the independent places, the cobblers that resole shoes with vibram soles, that bring perfectly good shoes or boots back to life, a real saving in price, old is gold, as shrinkflation and such, my old boots with alot of life left can have new soles, Other independent stores are just as good, the places to eat are brilliant, then again the independent places shine, well worth a visit, In conclusion, a must for those who like to remember and shop like it used to be, instead of scrolling virtually,

Has everything you need love shopping here great shopping mall

the only good thing about kingfisher was the boba stand now it’s gone and all that remains is the outline of my beloved shop. i’m fuming to say the least.

Decent shopping experience. Less hectic then birmingam town centre. Not mega busy and so many different shops

I had a fantastic time when we went there for Nik Kershaw's concert. Staff was helpful, place is nice and neat. Thank you everyone for making my day so special❤️

I have been to a number of theatres. This was easily the best because the ushers Madeleine (Mads) and Glynis were so caring and professional to all of the guests. They made a superb night truly memorable. Thanks Ladies 😊

1st March 2025 Tonight was our first time seeing I'm Every Whitney performing the music of the late phenomenon that was Whitney Houston. The performance was exceptional as she belted out all of the incredible hits . This lady puts on one hell of a show celebrating the the music of an incredible Diva . The crowd loved it and were dancing along to the music . As always the staff were excellent and the theatre should be proud of them .We have booked to see her Again we were so impressed. Friday 18th October 2024. The Diana Ross story was on show to a full house as always. A show of two halves it starts with The Supremes greatest hits and the story of there rise to fame. The three ladies playing the parts were superb in there movement and sounding like the 60s icons. Next was Diana solo . Getting everyone up dancing she was excellent as the Boss Getting her mannerisms just right. A must see for all Diana Ross fans ,so try to get tickets 🎟 at a venue near you .As always the theatre staff were all very friendly and helpful 👍 Saturday 17th August We Will Rock You performed by the youth theatre was excellent. A very good performance by all involved.Some of the Mic`s were a bit iffy but did not distract you from a fine performance 👏 Names of more modern performers had been used but main characters remained the same . Everyone had a great night so thanks to everyone involved Wednesday 11th October Paul Young was here tonight. Behind the Lens was a history of his career. It was fascinating to know about how he became an household name . He chatted and sang his way through his history helped by a lifetime friend . A very good evening was had by a full house 2nd March 23 Totally Tina was awesome, her dancers are so professional and along with a tight band they put on a remarkable show. The sell out crowd were on there feet dancing and singing along to the very talented Justine who sounds so much like the real Tina . The theatre however was cold but that did not spoil the night .Staff as always great First time at this theatre and such a lovely place, a small venue but great atmosphere, Totally Tina were performing and they were fabulous a must see for all Tina Turner fans ,a brilliant show none stop two hour show ,booked to see them again December 23rd Beauty and the Beast panto OH YES IT WAS . A very funny show made even funnier by a fabulous cast . A full house were thoroughly entertained

We were allocated the circle but thexsearsxwere narrow and leg length so short. I was in terrible pain. A out to go home at the interval, my daughter asked about seats elsewhere. We were moved to the stalls which were great so helpful and the show was great.

Very easy website to navigate through to get tickets. On arrival, the place is spacious and very functional. The bar staff and volunteers are amazingly kind and welcoming. The seat on the upper circle has very little leg room but does have a cosy great atmosphere. All seats & rows are clearly marked out. The pink floyd experience was amazing. The sound and lighting were well above my expectations. Would definitely go to see another production there. Bars are available on most levels and have a good range of drinks to select from

Lovely small theatre, great atmosphere enjoyed the performance of Garth Brooks tribute act: "Blame it all on my roots".

Beautiful theatre and friendly and helpful staff, we were late due to traffic and the team helped us with no fuss, meaning we got to see Henry Cole and Steve Parrish laugh, reminisce and entertain everyone In the audience.

Expensive ! Visited today £12 for child just 2 years old and £12 other child 4 years old. Adults x 2 charged £5.95 each this is just for entrance fee. Cup of tea £2.95 each. No cans of pop the Pepsi out of the tank was £3.25 each. Kids fruit juices and 2 bags of crisps cost £8. This is all money oriented. We were told no snacks or drinks to be brought in yet an Asian family brought in a huge bag of burgers and chips, crisps and pop/drinks on their own plates. I spoke to the manager he said the youngest child of the group has autism and will only eat certain things. I can understand a child who has needs or food intolerance etc yes they should be able to bring in a packed lunch not the whole family all eating burgers and chips from takeaway. I didn’t even look at the menu as the drinks were expensive enough.. this isn’t right or fair on people paying the full prices. The pricing isn’t worth the venue no staff to support the children or entertainment it’s all up to the paying parents to supervise and play yet you pay for that privilege.

360 play, lovely staff, especially in the food area, Paige was really helpful when I was sorting the children's meals above & beyond. Also pleasantly surprised the food was freshly cooked & the children really enjoyed their lunch. The play area did get somewhat rough later in the afternoon but over all the children had fun.

Discovered this place a few weeks back and I was shocked when I brought my children here! It’s massive inside and honestly so much to do my children never wanted to come home and was running riot for hours… highly recommend, I took my baby, 7 and 10 year old and they all loved it. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because of the booking charges. 1 being you have to pay almost the same price as a normal aged child, for a baby who can just about crawl or walk? I would have thought the price for babies/toddlers would have been less, I took my baby again yesterday and she didn’t get use of the play stuff due to her napping as it’s very unpredictable! Then secondly again on the prices, adults having to pay to come in to watch/wait whilst their children pay, this is another thing I don’t particularly agree with, mainly because most play areas adults don’t pay and if they do it’s a very small amount, the percentage of parents/adults who will end up purchasing hot drinks, children’s drinks, food etc whilst there is highly likely… so this all adds up and ends up being quite an expensive day. Not to add, the VAT that gets added onto the booking which always takes it up £5+! I would recommend though and will return in the future.

Soft play very big and the carousel is also very popular. The role play areas look a little tired and could do with some new equipment. Food is decent, but can be a little pricey. Have visited a few times and there always seem to be an issue with the QR code ordering from the tables. The kitchen don't receive the tickets so unless you chase up the order they have no idea you've ordered anything. Can also mean there's a really long wait for food. Recommend avoiding and ordering directly at counter as the staff don't let you know there's an issue. Overall the kids enjoy it and you can spend a long time here but it just needs some improvements.

I came on a wet & soggy Saturday at the start of the school holidays, parking was easy, It was perfectly set out to be able to see everything going on, the role play area is so much fun for the children (and adults), plenty of noise from the fun being had by everyone else too. Staff onsite were welcoming and smiley! The Coffee😍 and Bacon and Cheese Loaded Fries where amazing! Be back soon!!

This place is fantastic for kids. It has so many things for kids to do. It has a full-size carousel as well as a large soft play course a race track a load of play shops full of toys for that shop. Dress up area and a cafe. It's not cheap. 1 adult + 2 children costs £22 and a bit of change. However they take photos of you and the kids so nobody could leave with them and it feels very secure. My kids cried when we left after 2.5 hours because they still wanted to play.

This is our favourite rainy day venue. Not just your standard softplay. It has a carousel, play village and the coffee is great which is an added bonus for the parents! Staff are all lovely and friendly. The place is clean and well looked after.

Lovely remains of abbey that was destroyed during Henery VIII rein also set in Lovely surroundings and open fields, plenty of additional trails to take around the abbey. Parking is normally OK but can be busy if events are on at the needle museum. No entry fee

It was closed off as it was winter but you could still see the ruins and the museum and Old Forge were open and we'll worth a visit

Lovely place to walk and view the Abbey Ruins. We also visited the Needle Museum yo see some of the history of our local area.

Large area of grassland popular with dog walkers. Stream & places for access. A few areas of mud, but also some well made paths. Access to Bordsley Abbey (rectangular outline in old masonry protected by fence) & Needle Museum. CP @ NM & by Sainsbury's petrol station.

Perfect for a walk, with or without your dog.

Great place for a walk, cafe at Forge Mill, decent parking

Didn't go into the museum, it's a nice place for a walk and will go back and visit the museum next time.

A really great place to visit for kids and adults alike! The heritage bus rides are great fun and it's so good that they're included in the admission price. The kids loved the miniature railway too as well as all the little play bits for them around the place. For the engineering and history buffs there's plenty to read and see too. We will definitely be going back again!

What a gem this place is. Very reasonably priced. Great for kids who love transport and buses. My son loved it. So many buses on display in two different areas. Lovely small plag area and they had another smaller for kids to play. Also has a play house at the back for kids too. Nice cafe and a great open top bus ride free with entry fee. There is a small charge for the train which is fine. Time flies it was a great experience with the family. Will be returning. Also plenty of parking and some lovely classic cars were on display as well. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating.

I only visited this lovely place a few weeks ago. I had to come back on one of their event days as I enjoyed my visit there so very much. Today was simply brilliant. If you're like me and like nostalgia, reliving yesteryear then I can't recommend highly enough. Becketts Farm is juat arouns the corner so if you're ever visiting there, find time to spend at the Transport Museum too - you'll be glad you did. Especially if you love buses, vehicles, high quality craftsmanship. It's clear the preservers of these timeless vehicles are so very loving and passionate about their collection

An excellent day at the bank holiday running day. Managed to take a trip on multiple buses around the south Birmingham area. The on site museum is fantastic and the little cafe is charming. Outstanding value for money!

my son loved it here especially the bus ride and the train ride. it was quiet sunny sunday and the staff/volunteers are friendly. there are plenty of things to do as well for my kid and bus he can hop for picture

Transport museum focused on busses. Well worth a visit to understand the history of bus and general public transport around the uk but particularly in the West Midlands. Lots of buses and routes which you can take from the museum. Good value for money.

A brilliant place to visit, lots of exhibits and information. Can ride on a bus too! Miniature train rides available great fun for the children. See their website for opening times and special events. Well worth a few hours here 🙂

Nice pub, lovely garden. Friendly staff beer prices very reasonable. New owner gonna turn this successful. Definitely recommend.

Had a meet-up with my ex rover mates here. Nice pub with a friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced beers good ales. Good music jukebox playing the bar staff took requests, too !!. I've been told that the live music is great on a Saturday night. Nice place will return soon.

Lovely neighbourhood pub, couple of nicely kept cask ales usually available.

Lovely pub friendly staff and cheap beers

A lovely quaint place with friendly locals and good band night's

Great little pub with excellent beer garden The manager is lovley

Nice propper pub. Great atmosphere

I recently joined Abbey Stadium and I’m really happy with it! The whole process of booking classes, gym sessions or even badminton courts is really easy through their system. The staff are helpful, and there’s a good choice of activities. I’ve also started swimming here and you can go according to the pool timetable, which makes it very convenient. The gym is modern and clean, with plenty of equipment, and there are lots of classes to choose from, including some boxing-style workouts, Yoga, Cycling, Health and fitness and Games etc. Overall, a great place to stay active in Redditch!

Amazing gym, PT trainer mark is really helpful when it comes to using equipment properly to avoid injury and muscle pain. Gym is clean and all staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend !!!

Well equipped, clean and tidy gym and still newish. No peeling paint. Good vibes with parents and young kids enjoying the facilities- gym, swimming pool, and outside athletics track.Nice.

Been using the gym for a year now and with the help of Mark I have lost 48lb and am now a lot fitter and building muscle. Even when not having a one to one session, nothing is too much trouble and he will always take the time to offer advice and tips to better my exercise routine. I do think there needs to be lighter weight barbells from 2.5kg to 10kg, I see junior members struggling with the weights and as a parent myself we should do all we can to encourage and support gym use

Swimming lessons with 10 children per instructor is definitely too much for a 30-minute class — the kids aren’t learning proper technique at all. Items are left in the changing rooms, which no one uses or supervises. Parents walk onto the pool area in dirty shoes.

Just joined the Abbey Stadium Gym. So far very happy with the classes and induction sessions. All at professional standards. The receptionists and administration staff are very helpful.

It is a really good leisure centre. I have been going there for years now. The gym is really nice after the redo and staff are friendly

Staff are so helpful and supportive and respectful nothing is too much and they don’t hassle you just let you roam I bought a item I am over the moon at this when I went back to get other items and I had my work clothes on they didn’t treat me any different I was so excited to purchase more items that you just wouldn’t get in shops well done again keep up the good work 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Perfect place to browse really interesting, sometimes one-off items for both your house and garden. Vintage and new, similar to a reclamation yard and reasonably priced. Some nice local pubs so worth a day out.

Wonderful place for the unusual items , will ring van next time .

Lovely place to visit and find hidden , quirky items . Brilliant prices . Big outdoor area with outdoor ornaments , wooden sculptures, tall bird feeders and lots more . Inside it a treasure trove . Staff are always welcoming and at Christmas you were given a drink and mince pie upon entering . Def recommend - I have recently been taking some neighbour’s and one of those is hooked now . ( the others don’t drive )

Discover something a little different, at a very affordable price by visiting this hidden gem," The Barn " at Studley. It is an absolute treasure trove of traditional and contemporary objet d'art items for the Home and Garden, including, planters and pots, stoneware, all manner of retro, repro vintage metal objects, Gothic mirrors, re purposed furniture, fireside accessories, old Indian gates and shutters, animal figures made from driftwood, Japanese stone pagoda's, Terracotta warriors, Fu dogs, pumpkin globe lanterns, solar lanterns, decorative plant supports, bird tables and feeders, from armillaries to obalisk's, vintage and reclaimed milk churns, to old cast water pumps, agricultural items and much much more, the list could go on and on. Here you will find the peculiar, the curious, the bizzare, the noticeable, down right odd, unique, offbeat, remarkable, outlandish and truly eccentric items that will become a talking point with family, friends and neighbours. When you have finished browsing or buying, a mere 15 minute journey from there is the "Jinney Ring" craft centre which is well worth a visit, but also has a superb little restaurant.

One of my favourite places to visit bought loads of friends here it really is a hidden jem xxx Reasonably priced Friendly staff

Cute selection of rustic and antique finds, lots of amazing garden items too

Challenging golf course and the closing 5 holes are outstanding and a real challenge where you need to be long and very straight. Greens and fairways in lovely condition and overall hospitality from the staff is excellent. Just a very decent place for a round.

This truly an amazing course with all the top quality amenities as well The course is a thinking golfers dream, you really have to think what club to take out the bag on the tee and when laying up. Each whole is different with various features around the greens with bunkers,streams and elevation coming into play Even with the above mentioned, high handicaps will enjoy the challenge. So impressed thinking of joining, even with an half hour trip

One of those courses you have to go back to challenging holes the greens were very quick and not easy to read first visit would enjoy going back when fairways are back to normal the staff were really friendly as we're the members

I decided to book a round of golf with friends at Redditch Golf Club after being told it's a course everybody needs to play. From the moment we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly, members of the clubs were also happy to chat and offer advice on certain areas of the course and WOW what a course, Each hole looks stunning and offers you a new and exciting challenge, The tee boxes, fairways are in perfect condition and the contoured greens are amazing and unbelievably quick. Hats off to the ground staff. If you haven't played here before I highly recommend it.

Quality course in top condition. Very interesting holes and lovely layout. Greens top. Quite difficult in places so a great test. Lovely new clubhouse with exceptionally friendly staff. Great comms ahead of our society day and very helpful. Great breakfast too! Very good value. Will be back

Excellent course, very friendly members and helpful staff

Best course in the region, just got a new pro shop. Back nine needs accurate drives. Kitchen has also just been refurbished. Drainage also completed on wet areas of the course together with a new irrigation system. With the wet conditions at present the swing room is a useful asset.

Came for a function on Friday evening which was good. Room layout is long tables in middle so you could be sat by people you don't no. Toilets ran out of toilet roll half way through the night. Staff were good and friendly although was charged 1 price for my drink at start of night and then another price not long after by another member of staff. Wasn't charged for the dash first time round but was the 2nd so depends who serves you. On closing the lady was extremely rude. We'd gone from the function room into the main bar after asking the bar staff if it was ok. lady then starts screaming saying it's closing to get out. One of the girls we was with asked if we just ring a taxi before leaving as wouldn't have taken long and she refused and continued shouting for everyone to get out. Definitely wouldn't return or recommend

If you fancy a nice chilled one with friends, then this is the place to go. Also has function rooms for events and wheelchair access. Friendly staff, pool table, darts board and outside seating and a smoking area.

Great little place. I deejayed here for a friend's birthday & it's the perfect little venue for an intimate, private function. Staff are friendly & helpful & bar prices are reasonable. I intend to book the place for myself later this year. Thoroughly recommended.

Watching grown men fishing in lakes like this, is exactly like watching a bunch of 5 years olds sat round the garden pond trying to catch goldfish 😅 . . I swear i could pull one out with my bear hands quicker than turning up with 100s of quids worth of fishing equipment 😅

Nice social club and atmosphere

Bad customer service had a 7 month old baby in car and refused to let me out gates but safety comes 1st

Great place for a party etc. It was Vicky's 65th birthday (who is also the caterer there) and what a spread she put on for her buffet absultely wonderful. She had two artists instead of a disco and what a good idea to do that. A brilliant evening.

Great place for kids when it's raining (or when it's not). It's very secure and the drinks/food are very reasonable. Toilets were clean and regularly checked. I enjoyed several hours there with a toddler. 😊

Come up here almost every week my son loves it. He can play safely and we get a break with good coffee and food. The new inflatable area was a really hit.

I recently had my little girls 3rd birthday party here in the toddler room. The theme we picked was mermaid and we were just so happy with the outcome. The room was decorated beautifully and there was loads for the kids to do as we also opted to have the tuft trays filled with activities. Thanks so much to the team for making it a special day, my daughter and her friends loved it.

Excellent kids entertainment for a couple of hours. £2.50 per adult just for admission is a complete rip off. Coffee and food rip off. Cleanliness is good, they are forever vacuuming, toilets are spotless. If adults have to pay for admission how about a complimentary drink?? 2x trampoline and soft play plus socks £50.

I have been to numerous soft plays around the West Midlands with my Grandchildren, and today decided to try this one. I booked online before going, and it does clearly state no food or drink to be brought onto the premises. Nothing new there, as this is the case with many soft plays. What is not the case, is the young girl on entrance singling me out in a loud voice saying if I have food or drink with me we will be asked to leave! She said this to me not once but twice! In my opinion, this was an absolute insult! All moms/dads/ grandparents/ guardians usually have a bag or have a ruck sack with them usually because we need to carry nappies, wipes,purse, keys,phone,nappy bags, cream, changing mat etc need I go on!! Certainly not for a packed lunch for a couple of hours play when this is prohibited! All i can say is, I would never return to this place, and it really is very lucky that I didn't spot the young girl on my way out!!!

All ages can find they perfect place to play. Nice and clean. In the trampoline park they really follow the rules ! I really like the qr code on the table to order your food. Food is good and tasty. Friendly staff Highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon session 13:30 - 17:30 with the family. Little one was excited & shattered, tallest soft play we've seen yet. Supervision was needed for our little one as it can get a little chaotic, with excited little ones running around. It was busy on sunday as you would expect, but the soft play is large enough that we all found our way around without feeling too crowded. Tons of variety. Toddler area. Café Soft play & Cafe at an amazing price. Great entry price (book online) Café (doesn't break the bank like many with a captive audience) Two Birthday party's going on & will definitely consider in future years. Fun all around. Even a bouncy castle adjacent at an additional cost, One for years to come. It's massive, just like the soft play. Plenty of parking.

This was a wedding event (my own!). Every whim was catered for, Claire, the senior event person, bent over backwards to make sure that we were comfortable and confident with the arrangements, and, on the day, Sam and her team delivered a flawless day. Lovely setting, really good food, all staff looking like they genuinely love what they are doing, and, well, simply an amazing day and unforgettable!

We had our wedding at Abbey hill last weekend (23rd August 2025) and it was perfect. From the ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception was first class. Everything looked beautiful. The wedding breakfast was delicious and everybody commented on it. The disco and photo booth were great and evening buffet was brilliant. I would highly recommend Abby hill. We had a beautiful wedding day with them

We had our wedding reception at Abbey hill last Saturday and it was perfect 😍we got married at a local church and had a slightly different idea of our reception as we wanted to have a slightly more laid back event. Clair worked with us from the start to get it exactly how we wanted. Unfortunately the weather meant we could not have the photos outside the church as we planned and the staff were amazing allowing us to move the reception forward an hour with only a few hours notice and ensured it was all ready so our guests were happy and comfortable even allowing us to do our confetti shots on the red carpet and letting us use the ceremony room for our couple shots. Luckily the weather improved so we could also get some lovely outside photos later on. The children present absolutely loved be able to play pirate golf and Some of the guests even got a tour on the golf buggies which they loved. The food (canapés bbq and mini desserts) was a big hit with everyone! Chris the DJ got our music tastes perfectly and we were all up dancing right until the end. Also a massive shout out to Kye for being so kind and positive when I was panicking about the weather and Freya for helping it all run smoothly on the day. It honestly was perfect for us and we couldn’t have asked for anymore Thankyou! x

Attended here for my brothers wedding dinner and reception, and I have to say that it was very disappointing. Many guests said that the chicken was overcooked, my sister in law had a hair inside her brownie, there was no salt and pepper with the main meal. No teaspoons for those that had tea, no suger for teas and coffees, unfinished drinks were removed but staff denied this happened. The buffet was removed at 10pm, even though there was at least 50% remaining, and the groom didn't even get to eat as it was taken away. While there was a number of staff working behind the bar, one served and the other assisted them, slowing service down. Overall, overpriced and underwhelming

First time. Did the par 3, had a drink and snack after. Course very tidy, new tees, fairways, Bunkers and first cut all well looked as were the greens. Staff courteous and efficient. Food was good value £9 for well filled sandwich, came with a salad and chips. Lots of people about of all ages but didn't feel crowded. Will be back.

Our daughter had her prom there, and the place was just amazing. Beautiful decor and setting. But what's more valuable is the staff. From checking students before enetering the venue, making sure everyone is happy, and with 120 of energetic teenagers, they kept everything clean, tidy, and just perfect. They were always there to give a hand if needed and with a smile on their faces. Definitely recommend this place and their staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We played in the Senior Captains Charity Golf Day on 24th July. What a fantastic day. From the moment we arrived everyone was very friendly. We were a 4 ball down from Peterborough. Pro shop guys very helpful. The course was in good condition. Greens excellent. We ate after in the top bar which was very nice. Staff were very approachable. We certainly look forward to returning.

Good solid park experience. The main car park off of Windmill Drive gets full very quickly but there's another car park at the back near the football fields which rarely gets full. Play area get very busy indeed but there's a separate zip line area and skate park for older kids. On bank holidays there's usually a fair or some sort or bouncy castle. Great for walks, cycling and roller skating.

A wonderful park with a fabulous cafe! I was there for 3 Tuesdays in August providing drop in circus workshops. Glorious outdoor summer fun 🎭🌞🍰🫖🧡

Went with my wife for a walk and coffee plus a chance for her to try her new mobility scooter. Unfortunately, like most places, not enough disabled parking places, but we did get a place to park. Very pleasant walk, not too crowded, good cafe with nice latte and decaf tea. Can recommend it for a place to spend a couple of relaxing hours.

Lovely park, plenty of paths, free parking. It does get quite busy in the summer as there's a big children's play area, but its very peaceful in the winter. The cafe is a nice addition with outside seating avaiable and a toilet.

Beautiful open space, lots of things for the kids to do, a good walk that keeps your heart beat at a reasonable speed. Lots of tracks through the trees so great adventure for children and pets, a peaceful space with some very nice views.

Had a wonderful day at Morton Stanley Park. Lots to do there, there is the chidrens playground which is in very good condition. We had a picnic, on a picnic bench, which was lovely. There is no cafe at the moment and no toilets, which is disappointing, but one is being built at the moment. An ice-cream van is usually there, so you can buy drinks and ice-lollies and ice-creams there. After our picnic we picked some blackberries and sloes. There are some lovely walks around the wildflower meadows and through the woods. Today we saw squirrels, lots of fungi, and heard saw many birds. We also had a game of football and also cricket, there is a table tennis table and a net you can use for volley ball or anything you want. A good time was had by all the family.

Nice Park lots bigger than looks some awesome wood carvings to find and best Pulled pork bap had in a long time

Visited for tulip festival. Beautifully manicured gardens without a weed in sight! Fabulous tulips and fantastic wisteria srch. Had afternoon tea and scones which was delicious. Very well organised.

Stunning gardens with fabulous views. The garden staff were on hand to answer any plant based questions too, which is unique and very helpful. Refreshments are available too. Loved our visit.

Beautiful, understated & not too huge!! The tulip fest was a joy, fabulously colour coordinated & great very readable tulip identifcation lists. So we'll thought out. VG catering...both food quality but particularly the smiley, attentive & proactive staff.

Lovely gardens to visit if your able to attend one of their open days, we visited during the Tulip festival and walked around the gardens to see Tupli displays and the rest of the garden in general. These is plenty of parking but entry can be a little tricky down the narrow road although they did have Marshalls on hand managing the flow of traffic.

I visited on May Bank Holiday for the Tulip Festival. A stunning garden, with something for everyone: wilder areas, Japanese garden, woodland garden, formal borders, lawn, cou trysude, it really is a fab destination for the plant lovers. There was a marquee and also an outdoor seating area, serving drinks, light bites, Pimms, etc at reasonable prices. Plenty of parking. Garden is accessible to most areas, but not all. The staff helping with logistics, parking, directions were fantastic. 100% recommended.

Very impressed by good organisation and excellent guided tour by head gardener of 90 minutes duration. Then cold, light lunch. Nice. However as a hot day I think that drinking water should have been made available in addition to the provided tea and coffee. Stout footwear suggested and I agree is required.

I spend a lot of time in beautiful gardens, as does my wife who designs them for a living and we would both like to express our total admiration for what you have all done at Morton Hall. We appreciate the vision and the amount of day to day work that goes into achieving that level of perfection as well as the additional work leading up to an event like the Tulip Festival. I don’t use the word perfection lightly but that is what we experienced during our visit. The gardens are outstanding, from the quality of all the materials used & the attention to detail to the planting combinations & the maintenance we both agreed that it was heaven.

Such an amazing charity couldn’t recommend them enough!!! Made many memories on project and being apart of something so much bigger was literally so eye opening and unforgettable! The kids had heaps of energy and were full of happiness, from the moment we got there the kids just wanted to play especially on open day! And Honestly the staff were constantly there for us and made sure to check in with us daily! They made the experience safe and in a way reassuring as I knew they would be there to support me through anything out there! And they did just that! So if you’re thinking about doing a project I would say 100% GO FOR IT, you’ll have the best time!!

An overall amazing experience in Kenya. The whole trip was made by the staff from the UK, Kenya and Uganda who were all amazingly helpful with any issues the volunteers experienced and were all around a great and funny bunch of people. Both the weeks and weekends were full of amazing and fun experiences which helped me grow and experience the culture. I couldn’t recommend it more.

What an amazing charity!! I have been volunteering with Play Action International for 2 years. I volunteered in Uganda last summer and Kenya and Uganda this summer. I would and I do highly recommend the charity to anyone who is considering volunteering and wanting to make a difference! Not only is the whole experience absolutely incredible but also the staff working alongside you are incredible too! From signing up, fundraising, preparing to head to East Africa and being out in country too, the support you will recieve could never be better. Not only did I feel supported by the charity as a whole, but each of the staff members have all supported me throughout too! Whether that was physically, mentally or both. It’s quite well known that many charities are driven by money, but I can honestly say from my experiences with play action that they have each of their volunteers safety and welfare at heart over anything. They have certainly gone above and beyond to support me over the last 2 years!! I signed up for Project Play in 2023 in which I spent 2 weeks in Uganda during the summer with Play Action International.  Prior to signing up I had so many questions. International volunteering was something I had never thought about doing previously but when I saw the opportunity I had to take it, and it’s honestly been the best decision I have EVER made. I contacted Play Action with my questions about the charity, the projects, the fundraising and the experience as a whole and spoke to the staff who happily answered all my questions and settled any worries and concerns. The whole process and experience in general was absolutely unforgettable. When they say it’s an experience of a lifetime, it is exactly that!! The support received from the staff at Play Action from signing up all the way through to arriving back home in the UK after the project was flawless. The Play Action staff are with you through every step! signing up, fundraising, pre departure, arriving in country, projects and departing to go home. I would highly recommend Project Play to absolutely everyone, my advise would be that if you’re debating signing up to Project Play, just go ahead and do it. It’ll be the best decision you’ll ever make. There really isn’t a combination of words strong enough to explain how incredible it is, it’s such a ‘ you’ve got to see it to believe it’ experience. There is always a negative to everything but honestly the only negative to project play is the experience coming to an end. I will be FOREVER grateful for the experience.

I had an amazing time!! Spent 2 weeks in Kenya with the team and oh my goodness. What a fantastic experience!! I connected with so many great people and learnt a lot about myself and the world I live in. We were immersed in culture, every day was organised, the staff were so professional even when everything didn't go to plan, as things do when in the middle of Africa! I really recommend checking this charity out, the whole experience was great and I received so much support before, during and after my trip. This charity does great things and offers people such a great slice of life within a 2, 4 or more week window! 🫶🫶🫶

I volunteered for PAI in Uganda this year and had the most phenomenal time. From the beginning of the process I felt so supported in doing my fundraising and getting prepared for the summer! Every single person I met and worked with in Uganda from the UK team to the local staff, to my project group and all the teachers and kids at the school were wonderful and a joy to get to know. I had the best time learning to build and painting things for the playground, doing creative play lessons with the kids each afternoon and our extra excursions like kayaking on the Nile and the safari weekend. When I became injured and unwell the team were so supportive, kind and helpful. A massive thank you to our team leader Sorcha for looking after us all so well! The experience was incredible and I thoroughly recommend PAI to anyone thinking about international volunteering!

Ive volunteered with PAI twice now - once in Uganda and once in Kenya. This experience i can safely say was the best of my life. It made me a better, more adventurous person and I cant recommend it enough. The staff are so so incredible they were always there is I needed anything and gave me so much support. Thank you PAI you are forever amazing xx

Words can’t express how grateful I am to Play Action International for allowing me to take part in such a wonderful experience! Even when I missed the initial flight to Uganda, the staff were very patient and constantly reassured me that I will be with the group in no time (missing you all so much!!) I can proudly say that those 2 weeks spent in Uganda were life changing and this couldn’t have been possible without Play Action International. Would 100% recommend it to those who want to make a lifetime of memories and special bonds with the other group volunteers :)

A little museum telling the story of Redditch and it's history, including interesting displays on now-closed factories. The volunteers are happy to share their local knowledge.

Lots of interesting displays packed in to a small space with many archives and old newspapers. Volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the two pound entry

I wandered in feeling as if showing interest, even though not, I was supporting. 3 people were standing against a table thing on right as I opened door, chatting. They did not speak or look at me. I looked on left at books like Redditch ghost. I poked my head around to look what is there. When man chatting with others suddenly shouted, YOU HAVE GOT TO PAY TO GO IN THERE. I was so embarrassed, he seemed to be accusing me of theft. Especially as I knew one of ladies he was chatting to from where I used to work. I have poor sight in dark/dull places due to Macular Degeneration that kills your centre sight. I have No centre sight in left eye. Having injections to save my other eye. I have Gloucoma in both eyes which effects perifual vision. The museum is asking for volunteers. Perhaps this man should not train anyone till he has had some customer training himself. Like not every disability is visable. I will not step into that place again.

Brilliant brings back som great memories

Great museum

Nice Meal Quick Service Friendly staff.

A lovely day out with my best friend

Inadequate parking. Tiny seats in the "grandstand". Unfit for purpose. Massive unused spaces everywhere. Random construction. Bits taped off. No good line of sight anywhere. One of the worst grounds I've ever been to.

Great food, great fun, great home crowd and great games! The new pitch is great, the staff are inviting and friendly and the atmosphere is brilliant. The only down side is the seating, it's a bit tired and rickety. The shop's small, compact but full of character and characters and has new and old memorabilia for fans of today or yesteryear. It's wheelchair accessible and family friendly and a jolly good place to spend a Saturday afternoon. There's a smoking and non smoking area too. Go on, you don't know what you're missing!

Decent stadium with a 4G pitch. Food and drinks available at reasonable prices. Think £10 is a bit expensive for admission fee beings what league they're in.

It's a good little ground and it looks like it will have some history. It's got character alright and is comfortable. Happy to return sometime. The bar area is very good but the catering struggled a bit for an occasion when more than the average number arrived.

Amazing experience watching Redditch United play against Alvechurch. You're just a small town upway, you're just a small town upway!

Nice little ground with good facilities and a well kept 3G pitch. You have to keep your eye out for the sign for it on the right hand side as you come out of Redditch centre, the ground is set well back from the road so it doesn't stand out if it is your first visit.

Home of Redditch United, the stadium is accessed down a narrow lane. There is some free parking by the ground, but you may need to arrive early to take advantage of this. There is a nice clubhouse and bar on one side, while the rest of the ground is fairly basic, mostly concrete terrace. There are a few seats, adequate for the usual crowds but not offering a great deal of shelter from the rain. The staff are friendly and we had a great afternoons Perhaps not the greatest stadium, but a very interesting visit!

A small play park with a roundabout, climbing frame, slide and swings for babies & older children. There is also a nice grassy area and a pond where you can feed the ducks. At the weekends parking is fine but it's busier on weekdays.

Park needs updating but overall a good area for kids to play and near Lodge park pool so my youngest can feed the ducks and see the fish

Not well maintained, dog poo inside.

Definitely in need of an upgrade

Oh the swings where exquisite

Nice little park

We had an amazing morning at Wildlings Nature Play. The setting in the woodlands is just beautiful and it’s so peaceful! You walk down from the car park to the woods, it’s about a 10 minute walk but there are little carts to pull along the little ones if they get tired walking. The walk is lovely, past the farm animals into the wild flower field and through the opening into the woods. There are little nooks and cranny’s to different play areas for role play, there was a mud kitchen (which my daughter loved) sand pit, veg stall, arts and crafts etc and all around you whilst they play is wild garlic growing and an historic woodland! I highly recommend going Luu is lovely and so welcoming and friendly. Thank you for a lovely morning, looking forward to the next visit

Such a beautiful setting, really thoughtful activities - a bit different from the usual outdoor playgroup. I liked that my LO was encouraged to try things like hand drills and hammers that they wouldn't get to use at home. The owner even thinks about babies and adults attending and what they might get out of the sessions. So nice to see a truly eco-friendly playgroup too. When you book, there's a great welcome pack sent over with directions and things. We were invited to the opening session and were so impressed we booked onto the All Hallow's Eve session too. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time at Wildlings Nature Play. Our little one loved weaving our way down the trail, looking at the cows and jumping in puddles. When we got to the beautiful woodland, there were lots of lovely invitations to play, and it was so lovely to watch our little one get stuck in and his imagination to run free. Looking forward to coming back again and again, and see how the woodland changes with the seasons.
