About
About Bromsgrove
Bromsgrove is a town in Worcestershire, England, about 16 miles (26 km) north-east of Worcester and 13 miles (21 km) south-west of Birmingham city centre. It had a population of 34,755 in at the 2021 census.
Bromsgrove was a market town, with a long history of water mills, nail making and a railway wagon works. It is best known now for Bromsgrove School, a private residential school, and for being the town where the poet AE Houseman and his radical brother and sister lived. His house and some connected sites can be seen, and a statue has been placed on the pedestrianised high street. Bromsgrove was also the home to a group of artists and craftsmen working at the Bromsgrove Guild, who created a number of famous works, including the Liver Birds and parts of Buckingham Palace's gates.

Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Bromsgrove: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Birmingham Airport (BHX), about 25 km from the city centre in a straight line; East Midlands Airport (EMA, 74 km) and Manchester Airport (MAN, 114 km) are also within reach.
Getting around
The town is quite compact, so the best way to get about is on foot. For travelling slightly further afield, regular buses depart from a bus loop in the town centre (next to the ASDA supermarket) to surrounding areas as well as a few local circular routes around the town estates. Other than the two axial routes (Birmingham-Bromsgrove-Worcester and Redditch-Bromsgrove-Kidderminster) most services aren't terribly regular or logical. However, the BusTimes website provides well organised and accessible timetables and route guides.

Local knowledge
Eating, drinking and staying safe in Bromsgrove
Stay safe
As with the rest of the UK, in any emergency call 999 or 112 (from a landline if you can) and ask for ambulance, fire or police when connected. Bromsgrove is a reasonably safe place. Some trouble can occur with drunk people late at night on weekends around the main pubs and club. However, it is no worse than any other UK town or city, and the police are fairly effective in the area. Sanders Park is best avoided at night, as is the area around Charford.
