Region at a glance - the Midlands
The Midlands is a broad sweep of England, taking in both the East and West Midlands. Pegasus has chosen one city within it: Lichfield, in Staffordshire, where two communities, Lichfield Bonds and Chapter House, share the same cathedral-city setting.
Lichfield has a three-spired cathedral, a regular market and its own theatre, so it’s as good to live in as it is to look at. Beyond the city, Birmingham’s concert halls and arts centre are a train ride away, and Cannock Chase brings heath and forest for bigger walks.
Why retire in the Midlands?
-
Lichfield Garrick runs theatre, comedy and cinema all year, and Birmingham adds B:Music’s concerts, so a night out comes in two sizes.
-
Lichfield’s Beacon Park and Stowe Pool suit a quick stroll, and Cannock Chase offers longer countryside routes for a proper walk.
-
Lichfield’s regular market sits among the city’s shops and cafés, so the cathedral city is as practical as it is handsome.
-
Lichfield City has trains to Birmingham New Street and Lichfield Trent Valley serves London Euston. Each trip you embark has its own station.
Retirement living in the Midlands
Everyday life here centres on Lichfield. The market, the shops and cafés, a walk in Beacon Park and an evening at the Garrick can fill an ordinary week. The Lichfield Festival adds arts, literature and music, returning each summer and again at Christmas.
For bigger occasions, Birmingham widens the choice, from Symphony Hall’s concerts to courses at the Midlands Arts Centre. Cannock Chase has routes for a gentle wander or a long day out, so pick one to match the day and the weather.
Things to do in the Midlands
From a Lichfield market morning to a Birmingham concert, here’s how the region can fill a week.
Lichfield market
Take a basket to Lichfield’s market, set among the city-centre shops and cafés, then settle in somewhere for coffee. The weekly shop, with a sense of occasion.
Cannock Chase
Head out to Cannock Chase in Staffordshire for heathland, woodland and forest, on routes as short or long as you like. Fresh air, in generous helpings.
Symphony Hall, Birmingham
Take the train into Birmingham for an evening at Symphony Hall, where B:Music’s orchestral season runs through the year. Front-row seats entirely optional.
Beacon Park, Lichfield
Stroll through over 70 acres of beautiful gardens, open spaces and leisure facilities right in the heart of Lichfield. A perfect place for a relaxed walk or a afternoon tea.
