WIGHTWICK MANOR AND GARDENS REVIEWS
A wonderful property to visit. The house is magnificent and gardens are lovely. There are plenty of car parks within a short walk to the house. There is a café and public toilets. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend anyone to visit and enjoy looking around the gardens and admire the architecture of the house.
Lovely traditional Manor House and Gardens. Beautifully constructed and preserved. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly so it was fascinating to see how much history the property went through. There is a nice cafe on site which sells tasty food and drinks. The gardens are beautiful and nice to walk around. There is also a small art gallery and bookshop as well as the gift shop to enjoy. We would definitely go back to enjoy again.
Lovely national trust property to visit. Ample parking not too far from the house, shuttle service provided too as it's an uphill walk. Large gardens to explore, exhibits, cafe, shop, second hand bookshop and the house itself to explore. Made for a very fun family outing.

MOSELEY OLD HALL REVIEWS
My wife and I visited again today with our daughter after many years, first thing we noticed once parked up was the official new entrance ! We’ll it was new to us, on our last visit we just went through the wooden gate. Another fabulous visit, we took in the short forest walk and meadows this time which was nice, there’s a great, safe tree house if you have younger children (see the photo). A lovely Elizabethan farm house with a great history over King Charles II on the run. Some lovely pieces to look out for around the house. We played some old games on the lawn which was real fun and then enjoyed a hot drink. Although one of the smaller NT it still packs a punch and the staff are great.
Lovely property to visit on a Sunday morning. My partner and I had an excellent tour by Colin and learned some great stories about Charles II. Also a very tasty tea room with an excellent Victoria Sponge! Some beautiful woods and grounds to walk round, not the longest walk in the world but there is a friendly peacock and some less friendly bees to make the stroll worthwhile.
Moseley is a great visit, especially for kids. With plenty to keep small hands and minds occupied we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The house isn't particularly large but has some interesting stories. The cafe is nice and serves a few lighter meals & treats. They have a separate ice cream shop downstairs which we enjoyed. When we visited they had some lawn games out to play with. A small crafts activity to have a go at. The woodland adventure walk kept the kids entertained, the treehouse/fort being their favourite. A good way to spend half a day.

THE HALLS WOLVERHAMPTON REVIEWS
I have seen many concerts at the Civic and it is a great venue. All of the concerts I have seen here is standing on the floor area downstairs and the balcony is seated. I like standing my wife is vertically challenged and she doesn't see much. So we go for a seat upstairs. Not the comfiest but they are fine. There are good sight lines and we have always had a good view. There are several bars and although expensive it is what you would expect at a venue of this type. The service is good. Being a smaller venue than the big arena venues the atmosphere can be really good.
The faithful Civic Hall has a pedigree of decent musical events, exhibitions and all types of entertainment. I've seen David Bowie here, and The Smiths, and yesterday Tom Stade. 2 decent venues in 1! It does it all!
Back to civic to see the charlatans. Can't really fault the place after all these year. Venue is great and just the right size to ensure everyone gets a decent view. Cloakrooms, bars, decent toilets, stacks of security, especially outside.
