A hidden gem near Birmingham Airport, this garden is full of quintessential English charm and offers a range of exciting summer events.

Tucked just minutes from Birmingham Airport, Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens is a hidden 10-acre haven of wildflower meadows, hedged mazes, and birdsong that feels a world away from city life.

And this summer, it’s not just about the peaceful strolls - it’s packed with events for families, music lovers, and curious kids.
