Clent Hills is the perfect destinations to take the family out for a short afternoon winter stroll. The Clent Hills is a favourite of the winter ramblers from nearby Midland towns and cities as they have stride through the route for over 200 years. The walk trails through woodland to the top of the hill, where on a clear day, you can see the Welsh Black Mountains on the horizon. The walk is one mile long and dog friendly.
Internationally, carpets that were woven in Kidderminster were well known and The Museum of Carpet, the only museum in the UK dedicated to carpet and carpet making displays the history of the importance of such heritage. The museum has lots of upcoming events including ‘Vintage Bunting Workshop’ on 5th February, where you can learn different methods of combining old vintage textiles into a unique heirloom of your handiwork from recycled fabrics.

On 7th February, the ‘fangtastic’ rock show, Circus of Horrors hits the stage at Swan Theatre, just a 22 minute drive away from The Abbey. The infamous show is touring the world with amazing acts such as sword swallowers, demon dwarfs, strong men, whirlwind acrobats, flaming limbo, sensational aerialists and knife throwers.
