About The City Brief Redditch
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Redditch
The City Brief keeps Redditch residents and visitors up to date on what’s happening across town each week. From the historic Church Green conservation area to the character of Broadway, from regular performances at the Palace Theatre to seasonal events at Arrow Valley Country Park, there's always something happening, and we're here to help you find it. Redditch boasts a strong sense of community with recurring events. The weekly Redditch Market is a local staple, offering products and crafts. Throughout the year, you'll find events like the Morton Stanley Festival and Redditch Pride, as well as seasonal guided walks led by the City Ranger service, from butterfly hunts to bat watching. The Palace Theatre hosts regular shows, whilst Scarefest returns each autumn with an immersive experience. Our role is straightforward: we cover the events and activities that matter to you. Whether it's Age UK North Worcestershire’s weekly classes, Friends of Auxerre events celebrating our twinning with France, or the diverse programming at Three Counties Showground, we track what’s on and help you plan your week. We know staying informed about local events is tricky when announcements are scattered across different websites and social media channels. Redditch’s history, from becoming a New Town in 1964 to its heritage of needle-making and sites like Bordesley Abbey, shapes the events and activities here today. The town continues to evolve, and its calendar reflects both its traditions and its modern character. The City Brief connects you with these opportunities. Each week, we update our listings so you can see what’s coming up in Redditch, whether you’re looking for family activities, cultural events, or ways to get involved in your community. We’re committed to helping you stay connected to your town.
