Arrow Valley Park
Situated in the heart of Redditch borough it is hard to believe you are in an urban environment when you are walking or cycling around the Arrow Valley lake.
Next to the flagship Countryside Centre there is an extensive playground area only completed in 2002. Slides, climbing nets, swings and frames feature in this multi-level, state of the art play area. It is a an adventure paradise for kids of all ages.
Downstairs from the café is Youth Afloat, who mission is to provide access to sailing activities to those children who otherwise would find it difficult or unaffordable. They have a full range of light sailing craft and many qualified instructors and helpers.
The park itself affords the opportunity to 'take the air' in a child friendly green environment with super views across the lake and a not too taxing walk around the circumference of the lake. Why not finish your walk at the Café and have a cup of coffee and cake or ice cream?
Cadbury World
This is probably one of the most famous tourist attractions in Birmingham, and it is so popular that if you wish to have their Cadbury experience, then you will need to book in advance because if you turn upon the day you will not get in.
The Cadbury experience tells and shows you all about the history of chocolate and of course, Cadbury itself, there is plenty to see and do such as making your own chocolate. You will leave the Cadbury experience with a bag full of free chocolate as well.
Moreover, if you can bear more chocolates after that, there is the gift shop and a restaurant -- which fortunately serves more than chocolate!
Palace Theatre
If you are looking for the best regional entertainment around, look no further than the Palace Theatre, Redditch.
With a family orientated programme featuring the very best in drama, comedy, variety, musicals, classical, folk, pop and the big band sound as well as opera, ballet, pantomime and children’s shows you can rest assured that there is something to suit every taste.
After a 4 million pound refit Redditch’s historic Edwardian Theatre opens its doors to the public with a feast of fabulous entertainment. As one of only six working theatres left in the country that can be wholly attributed to its famous architect Bertie Crewe its heritage and pedigree makes the Palace, architecturally a theatre of national importance.
Equipped to the highest standard and seating 425, luxuriate in the new, light and airy foyers, enjoy an interval drink in the comfy bar lounge then be whisked back in time to the glories of the Edwardian era as you take your seat in the beautifully redecorated auditorium.
