Solihull town centre

Solihull Council was ordered to take down its 20ft Christmas tree – a regular feature outside Touchwood Shopping Centre – after the retail centre bosses decided it would get in the way of a light display.

Touchwood shopping centre

Touchwood in Solihull is an award winning, 650 000 square foot shopping destination which opened its doors in September 2001.

Seamlessly woven into Solihull’s existing town centre, Touchwood has become a blueprint for in-town development thanks to our innovative design, easy access to the M42 and our 1 700 car parking spaces.

Malvern parks

Malvern and Brueton Park are two very distinct Parks in one. The Malvern end of the Park acts as a formal town centre Park, giving easy walking access to the shopping area. It offers a magnificent display of floral arrangements throughout the year and a unique carpet bed of plug plants. Malvern Park was once agricultural land and was bought by the Council in 1926 following a local referendum and lengthy negotiations with the landowner.
