Kidderminster Town has 4 shopping centres which are the Rowland Hill Centre, the Swan Centre, Crosley Retail Park and Weavers Wharf Shopping Centre all offering an exciting choice of shops, restaurants and bars, ranging from well known high street names to smaller independent businesses. The Town Centre also hosts a number of annual events including an Arts Festival and Carnival and has excellent venues for concerts and recitals such as the Town Hall, the Glades Arena and Leisure Centre, St Mary’s Church and the Library.

Kidderminster Town Centre Partnership’s vision is to play a leading role in the development of Kidderminster as a regional retailing and business centre, through a partnership approach with Wyre Forest District Council and other key stakeholder interests. The Partnership supports the Wyre Forest District Community Strategy’s vision that by 2014 the Wyre Forest will be a prosperous district where everyone can thrive at work and play, at home and in the community and can learn and develop throughout their lives in a safe, attractive and healthy environment.
