Moseley Village, as it is known, has a strong identity as a creative place. It combines history with successful independent businesses and active residents to make it a much desired place to visit. The area has a mix of retail, from art galleries to patisseries, a high end ethical clothing ‘recycler’ and specialist wholefood shops. There are of course, still the staple names for the big weekly shop. Moseley also provides an alternative way of working as well – people can join the Moseley Exchange and become part of a community of local enterprises.
The night time economy in Moseley is bustling. A choice place for young professionals, the Village hosts a number of public houses, many of which are independent and offer something a bit different. There are dozens of good places to eat with a multitude of menus to suit varying tastes.
Moseley is Birmingham’s creative village, where a warm hearted reception awaits you.
