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.

Easy peasy. Nice people to deal with; all my (probably, very silly) questions were answered quickly and clearly, and the follow up to check that my move went smoothly was a nice finishing touch.

Really seamless experience from start to finish. App was incredibly easy to use and convenient 24/7 access allowed me to move all my house stuff over in less than a week. The unit I booked was the perfect size to fit all my furniture in from a large 2 bed house. Would definitley recommend anybody looking for storage to use Wigwam
