Venue

Smethwick's 100-acre, Green Flag award winning community park which is managed through a Community Trust - with its mix of open meadow and nine-hole golf course - has some of the region's most beautiful woodland, offering nature walks, trails and free parking. Only three miles from the centre of Birmingham, it really is the perfect retreat.

Becketts have been farming in Wythall - just south of Birmingham - for 77 years and our mission is to bring both fresh food and farming closer to the people. 

Our business has evolved over time and now comprises an award-winning Farm Shop, a large family restaurant, conference and meeting facilities, and a cookery school.  

We also run a number of exciting family events throughout the year, making Becketts Farm a unique shopping experience and a great day out.  In addition to this, we support numerous local businesses via our extensive commercial lettings operation.

The Cathedral of St Chad offers educational visits for schools that are usually preparing for Confirmation. Visits are available every weekday morning; working around a busy Cathedral diary, in which you’re invited to tour parts of the Cathedral rarely seen by the public. You will be in the company of our very knowledgeable volunteer team of guides.

The ICC is a truly world-class venue and one of Europe’s most high profile conference centres, welcoming over 350 events and more than 300,000 delegates each year. Unrivalled experience, a fantastic reputation and uniquely flexible, purpose-built space in a great location enable the ICC team to deliver events beyond expectations.
