Location
Moseley Folk & Arts Festival takes place at: Moseley Park, 93b Alcester Road, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8DD.
Moseley Park is a unique, privately owned eleven-acre green space set right in the heart of Moseley Village, just two miles south of Birmingham city centre. The festival site is a natural bowl surrounded by mature trees, with a picturesque lake at its centre. This enclosed setting creates an intimate atmosphere with excellent acoustics and clear sightlines from across the park.
The park has a single main entrance for festival-goers, located on Alcester Road, close to local cafés, shops, and pubs. Ground surfaces vary between lawn, compacted paths, and gentle slopes, and the site is easy to navigate for most visitors. As an urban park in a residential area, there is no on-site parking, and visitors are encouraged to arrive by public transport, taxi, cycling, or on foot.
For full travel guidance, including public transport options from Birmingham city centre, cycle parking, and local road information, see the festival’s dedicated Getting To The Festival page.
