Autumn Activities

The nights may be drawing in, but there’s still plenty to enjoy at The Park And Pool. Lots of our visitors think this is the most beautiful time of the year here, as the landscape bursts with an ever-changing palette of Autumn colours.

As usual, the Park is open to everyone 10am-4pm on the last Saturday of the month (on Farmers’ Market Days) and every Wednesday for our Wellness Wednesdays 10am-4pm too.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS

We’ve fired up the Urn, and we’re offering a nice warm cuppa at The Rangers’ Hut from 1.30-3.30pm – why not join us for some Chat And Char? We will provide shelter with gazebos, but if the weather looks especially tempestuous we might skip that week – check facebook.com/MoseleyParkPool to find out!

ACCESS

The Accessible Toilet at Moseley Hive (next to the main Alcester Road gate) is available to our visitors between 11am and 2pm on Wednesdays. It’s also available for several of our events, marked “[AT]” above. Unfortunately the renovation of our main path has had to be postponed until Spring 2024: in the meantime, we’re working to try and improve access in other ways, including developing an access guide which we plan to share on the website soon. If you need this information in another format or have any questions about access, please email community@moseleypark.co.uk.
