Over the last few years, Birmingham has undergone some major redevelopments to the Bullring shopping centre. It’s our 2nd city and has more open spaces and acres of parks than any other city in the United Kingdom. The area around Broad Street is the place to head for in the evening, with bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants being in this area as well as along the canal. Staying in Birmingham gives the holiday makers the chance to shop and sightsee in the city, whilst during the day, visit some of the attractions close by. Cadbury’s World, where you can visit this well known chocolate factory, enjoying seeing how its made and of course getting to taste and purchase at their factory shop.
Another attraction not too far way is the “Black Country Museum”, it’s a living museum where you get the chance to see how people lived, and worked, not that long ago, the group get to go down a coal mine, seeing how it was mined and how the pit ponies brought the coal to the surface. How people lived, the houses are 2 up 2 down, and a family of 5 or 6 would live together, with the toilet being outside. You can wander around and speak to the people that work in the museum, they are all dressed in clothes from the era, the shops sell sweets from the jars and I think the best food has to be the “Fish & Chips” cooked in beef dripping, they are fantastic, so popular you have to wait for them to be cooked.

Coventry has plenty of Georgian and Medieval interest within the city. The main attractions remain the 2 Cathedrals, Coventry Cathedral, which stands next to the ruined, St Michaels Cathedral, (the Old Cathedral), which was destroyed in 1940, St Mary’s Guild house and Cheylesmore Manor, a grade 11 listed building and once the city gatehouse.

The Transport Museum is another great attraction and links in with the motor trade that was once the main employment in Coventry. Its free to visit and houses a vast collection of transportation, including, World Record breaking vehicles, such as thrusts 1 & 2.

Coventry is well known for Lady Godiva, who rode through the streets, naked, protesting at the high taxes her husband, Earl Leofric, had imposed. In Broadgate there is a statue of Lady Godiva. A clock set into a building, overlooking, Lady Godiva, chimes on the hour, with "peeping Tom" coming out to look at her.

Other places to visit with group’s here are the Canal Basin and Coombe Abbey Country Park.

For shopping there are the lower precinct, West Orchards, City Arcade and the Indoor Market.

By night the Skydome entertainment area is the place to head for, for its pubs and clubs & it is also an ice rink and home to Coventry's Blaze ice hockey team.
