Set in the beautiful county of Staffordshire, Tamworth is a vibrant town with rich heritage.

Our transport links, unique shopping experience, developing town centre, green spaces, leisure offer, including our cultural and wide-ranging outdoor events programme, as well as our heritage buildings, all help make it a great place to live, work, study, and visit.
