The wonderful town of Kidderminster is the birthplace of the modern carpet industry, and Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant. That goes some way to giving you an idea of how varied a town Kidderminster is. During your stay at our hotel in Kidderminster, you can drive your way through the lion-infested wilderness of West Midlands Safari Park, take a trip back in time aboard the steam locomotives of the Severn Valley Railway, or just eat until you can’t eat any more with our round up of the best restaurants in town.
Things to do in Kidderminster
Activities
The West Midlands Safari Park understandably heads up our top days out in Kidderminster. It’s one of the best wildlife parks in the country. But, it’s not the only option on your doorstep. You can visit the beautiful Harvington Hall, walk through the Bodenham Arboretum, get into the great outdoors of Wyre Forest, or step aboard one of the UK’s best heritage railways.
Entertainment
Perhaps you’re looking for the best local pub for live music? Or would you rather enjoy your evening’s entertainment at Kidderminster Town Hall, with its glorious Victorian decor and famously ornate organ? Or what about the local football team? Or the local amateur theatre, which brings professional quality productions to the people of Kidderminster? Whatever you’re looking for, the chances are you’ll find it here.
Places to eat
There’s a French charm to the culinary options in Kidderminster with a grand total of three bistro options for you to choose from for your evening’s eating. Our local guide also features our favourite curry house, a cracking Chinese restaurant, a dining room with a view, and cafes galore.
Nightlife
Take your pick from canalside pints, CAMRA favourite micropubs, one of the nation’s favourite wine bars, an excellent bric-a-brac watering hole with a wonderful all-day menu of food, or just go the whole hog and make your way into town for a night out at one of Kidderminster’s recommended clubs.
Shopping
Should the urge for a shopping spree strike during your stay in Kidderminster, the best retail options can be found at Weavers Wharf. It’s home to a huge TK Maxx, as well as Next, M&S, Debenhams and New Look stores. Best of all, it’s next door to our Kidderminster hotel. Alternatively, make your way over the river to The Swan Centre and the Rowland Hill Shopping Centre for even more High Street names.
Getting Around
Getting around Kidderminster is relatively easy if you’re visiting via car as the town is well served with road networks. If you’re travelling via bus or coach, you’ll arrive into Kidderminster Bus Station, situated right next to our Kidderminster hotel. By rail, you’ll find Kidderminster Train Station on the other side of the town centre, just off Comberton Road, where you’ll also discover some great places to eat and drink. Four trains per hour run to Birmingham, as well as regular services to Worcester, and peak trains to London. It’s on the same road as Kidderminster Town Station, where you can catch the heritage Severn Valley Railway, one of the top activities in Kidderminster.
