Welcome to Sandwell

Bostin People … Bostin Place

We are at the heart of the West Midlands in the Black Country, long-known for its industrial heritage. But we’re also home to 1,200 hectares of award-winning parks and green open spaces. 
Unexpected, perhaps, but they all add up to a range of green spaces to explore – from our ‘jewel in the crown’ Sandwell Valley in West Bromwich – to nature reserves dotted all over the borough.
We look after some of the most important and interesting historic buildings in the West Midlands, where visitors can discover the fascinating stories of those who lived and worked in the Black Country – in celebration of our ‘can-do and making spirit’.
On this site you can explore things to see and do in Sandwell, discover unexpected hidden gems, browse what’s on in each of our Towns and join in with our colourful and diverse calendar of festivals and events. Pick your favourite places to eat and book your stay from our hosted accommodation link across Sandwell, Birmingham and the West Midlands.
