Here are the top reasons people are moving to Bromsgrove: 

Plenty of transport options 

You can travel conveniently by rail, car or air. The railway station offers hourly services, the Birmingham airport is only 42 minutes away, and traveling by car leaves room for easy access to Birmingham and Coventry – which are only 30 minutes away. 

Thriving with rich heritage 

The Avoncroft Museum and St Peter’s Church are two of many historical journeys people can enjoy while living in Bromsgrove. From exploring the grave site of Mabel Tolkien (mother of author J.R.R. Tolkien) to experiencing an unusual collection of 30 rescued and rebuilt buildings and structures, there is something for everyone in this heritage-rich town. 

Food and drink options galore! 

Little Ale House, Bromsgrove’s first micropub, has seven rotating ales from various breweries. You can also share meals with friends and family at some of the town’s local spots like Casa Med tapas lounge and bar. Indulge your taste buds in some hearty-pub food or fine dining delicacies – Bromsgrove has options! 

Pro Tip: don’t enjoy ale? Bromsgrove also has plenty of real ciders and perries to choose from.  

Hidden gems to experience 

Grafton Manor – the most famous Bromsgrove hidden gem – was the former secret meeting place for Catholics after the Reformation. It also marks the former residence of John Talbot (Earl of Shrewsbury,) who was considered an involved suspect in the Gunpowder Plot. Ironically, Talbot’s original manor burned down in the 18th century, but the new building is still marked as his former residence.

Sarah and the Wigwam team have been fantastic! They've made the whole process easy, convenient, and affordable! Wigwam do really good deals on their storage spaces, 50% off for the first 8 weeks, and they use an app-based system for access to the storage unit which is quick and efficient! This is the best experience I've had with a storage space company to date!!
