WALSALL

A SPOT OF CULTURE

Need a break? Why not embrace the Black Country with a visit to Walsall Leather Museum, or explore a local industry of the past at the Locksmith’s House? Alternatively, visit The New Art Gallery Walsall where you can see works from artists including Constable, Degas, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh.

FUN AND GAMES

Our sports and physical health courses are supported by the latest facilities and equipment, from our 3G pitch to the Judo Centre for Excellence. Or what better way to spend your weekend than cheering on Walsall FC, Walsall Rugby Club, or Willenhall Wanderers netball team? Hear talks from inspiring names from the sporting world and tribute acts at Walsall Football Club’s The Venue, or visit nearby Forest Arts Centre for a night of entertainment from popular comedians.

WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Walsall’s Barr Beacon nature reserve offers fresh air and amazing views. You can also head out to nearby Palfrey Park or check out the gorgeous colours of Walsall Arboretum. If you’re a nature-lover, head to Park Lime Pits Local Nature Reserve, where they often hold events like bat walks and forage trails.

RETAIL THERAPY

For some retail therapy, Walsall’s Saddlers Shopping Centre is full of tasty places to snack and shops for both browsing and picking up the essentials. There’s also a market to browse and the excellent Crown Wharf Shopping Park, where you’ll find bigname stores to explore. It’s just across the road from the Waterfront where you’ll find Walsall’s best restaurants and bars, and catch a blockbuster in the Light Cinema. ‘‘ The University was such an inspirational place for Sport and Physical Education. I remember being totally engaged in the information lecturers were delivering. “ “ Niamh Deasy, Secondary Teacher of Physical Education
