For those travelling further afield, Tipton railway station provides links to wider regional routes.
This week’s programme benefits from the town’s evolving cultural landscape. Dudley has undergone redevelopment in recent decades, transforming former industrial spaces into venues for modern civic life. This has encouraged a growing calendar of music events and cultural performances.
