Welcome to Alvechurch — Worcestershire’s canal‑side village, where countryside calm meets commuter convenience and the M42 keeps Birmingham and Redditch firmly connected. With around 6,000 residents who know the shortcut past the marina better than any sat‑nav, Alvechurch blends rural charm with easy access to the city.

Schools That Actually Impress

Alvechurch C of E Middle School, South Bromsgrove High, and Bromsgrove School (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Alvechurch’s local economy mixes small businesses, pubs, and services with commuters heading to Birmingham, Redditch, and Worcester. Add in canal tourism and nearby retail hubs, and you’ve got a village that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the M42 Traffic)

• Alvechurch Marina – boating, canalside walks, and waterside pubs.

• Lickey Hills Country Park – rolling landscapes and postcard views just minutes away.

• Local favourites – cricket on the village green, cosy pubs for Sunday roasts, and canal towpaths for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t fix the M42 bottleneck, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Hopwood Interchange)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Alvechurch is just a stepping stone to Amsterdam)
