Wedding Venues in West Midlands

West Midlands

The birthplace of Shakespeare, West Midlands has been a place of culture, invention and industry for centuries. With a thriving food culture, a vast variety of venues, and easy access from all of Great Britain, it’s a great location to have your big day in. Located in the heart of England, West Midlands is a metropolitan county, with Birmingham and Dudley in the west, and Coventry in the east. As the UK City of Culture 2021, Coventry is home to rich history and an abundance of unique arts and culture activity. Birmingham, on the other hand, is a diverse melting pot of a city, with unique architecture, a busy calendar of festivals, and a wealth of unusual and exciting venues to choose from. It’s not all city, however; nestled next to the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield is Sutton Park; 2,000 acres of forested parkland, with manors and country houses scattered on the periphery. Being in the centre of England, West Midlands has a mild climate, with highs of 21° in July and lows of 1° in January. May, June and July are equally sunny, with the rainiest months being January and October. Many major motorways pass through the region, such as the M1, M5, M6, and M42. Flight is also an option, with Birmingham Airport only 8 miles from the city centre, and Coventry’s West Midlands International Airport only 6km from the city centre. Photo by Ian Kelsall via Unsplash
