Out and About in Kidderminster

Kidderminster is a small town in the Wyre Forest district of Worcestershire; just south-west of Birmingham City Centre and a 20 minute train ride from Worcester. The town is pretty centrally located in the local area and is one of the larger towns in the district of Wyre Forest.

Not too big and not too small, Kidderminster offers a wide range of things to do and see; from the carpet museum and the local cinema to walking along the canals and events at the town hall.

Situated in the heart of the town, Kidderminster College is within easy walking distance of the local train and bus station and right next to the library.

With the Kidderminster Harriers FC, Severn Valley Railway and West Midlands Safari Park on our doorstep, there’s always something happening in the town and local area, make sure to check out the What’s On Website for the latest events and shows.
