    I went there recently for a Christmas service for my father, who has sadly passed earlier this year, organised by the funeral directors. It is a beautiful church, as churches go. You don't have to believe (and I don't I'm atheist) to appreciate a beautiful building. The staff and clergy were all polite and welcoming too.

    Terrible Customer service! The staff made us leave almost shortly after the wedding because they had booked another wedding. Everyone was so unhappy with them because we wanted to have some photos in the gardens but they gave us an ultimatum and were really snooty about it. It is my understanding that they do this quite often as its popular venue but what's the point in having such a nice venue if they ask you to leave before you get chance to take photos?!

    Went last Saturday to the memorial service for people who have passed this year. Although I'm not Catholic my late husband was. We received a warm welcome, and the service was uplifting.

👍 I visited Shirley Park a few days back and I do love it. It is a simple park with playground, tennis court, a nice football field, great for walking dogs and really serene. I would have given it a 5star but I have been to more beautiful parks that this within Birmingham. If you live around Solihull...
