AUTUMN ACTIVITIES 2024

Summer may be coming to an end, but there’s still lots happening at the Park And Pool this autumn. Our programme of environmental events, How Does Your Garden Grow?, continues through September and October, and we’ve got lots of special one-off events and festivals too.

We want to make sure everyone can enjoy this natural haven, so most activities are brought to you on a ‘Pay What You Feel’ donations basis (unless otherwise stated) – but every donation makes a big difference to what we can offer in the future, so please do support our work if you can.

The Park And Pool is open to everyone free of charge from 10am to 4pm every Wednesday, and on Farmers’ Market Saturdays for our Monthly Open Days (except August, when there’s no open day because it’s the Folk Festival). 

All events are all-ages / family-friendly unless age guidance is provided below

BOOKING: you can just turn up to events which don’t have an online booking link below

Please arrive on time for workshops and volunteering: for drop-in events, please arrive more than 30 minutes before the end of the time slot

ACCESS

We’re gradually improving access to the site, but large areas remain inaccessible. Activities above are accessible to most visitors using wheelchairs and mobility aids: the tennis pavilion is wheelchair accessible via an alternative entrance, so please ask a staff member for directions and support.

Any activities marked A* also have an accessible toilet available at Moseley Hive (next to our main entrance). Where this is not the case, you may be able to use the accessible toilets at the nearby Sorrento Lounge: please check their website for opening times at https://thelounges.co.uk/sorrento/

All events welcome neurodivergent visitors and stims and tics are welcome. The park is full of sensory breakout spaces and you are welcome to take time out in them. The new inclusive activity area is currently in development, but already features a wheelchair accessible and ND-friendly play train and rainbow stage to encourage creativity. This can be found approximately 40metres along the main footpath from the Alcester Rd entrance (turn right just before the first tennis court). 

Unfortunately as these events don’t have external funding, we have not yet been able to provide facilities for D/deaf visitors. If you would like to attend our disability symposium and require BSL interpretation, please email community@moseleypark.co.uk.

You can find our detailed access guide here.

Please email community@moseleypark.co.uk if you require anything in a different format or have any questions about access.
