More about Smethwick

West Midlands, England

Smethwick sits snug in the West Midlands and manages to pack quite a bit of local life into its streets. The Dorothy Parkes Centre has been hosting community gatherings for years, while market stalls often pop up near the high street on a Saturday morning. It is a proper neighbourhood with plenty going on right outside your front door. There are usually a few quiz nights at pubs and some theatre groups rehearsing in local halls. We keep an eye on what's happening so you don't have to wade through a dozen websites to find out. Come along for the ride and see what else is on this week.
