what to do in Redditch?

[KathG]

Any ideas of restaurants/tea room in Redditch for a Saturday afternoon (need to hang around there for a couple of hours)
Thanks.

Redditch town centre has plenty of cafes in the shopping centre, but not much in the way of restaurants - just Wetherspoons pub.

There is a cinema in the centre.

Out of the centre you could go to the needle museum which has a new cafe. Or Arrow Valley Park which has a lake for duck feeding, play areas and a basic cafe for tea / ice cream.

Do you need to entertain children?

yes thanks!- its between ballet shows that they are in, so too far to go home (And so musn't get them muddy!)

I assume you will be at the Palace theatre for that, so I am sure you can mooch about the town centre for a few hours. There are plenty of shops, and the cafes include Muffin Break, Druckers, Costa etc. It's also all indoors - and judging by today's weather that's for the best!

The cinema shows a kids film at 12:30 which is only £1.50 to go into - I think this week it is Underdog.

thanks - as it turned out there was only a tiny gap between shows!
