The brand new bigger and better Tourist Information Centre has now opened at the Philip Dix Centre.

The new venue, which is based in the Philip Dix Centre, Corporation Street, is much bigger than the Market Street shop and will be able to offer visitors much more.

People wanting tickets to see the Staffordshire Hoard when it arrives at Tamworth Castle will be able to snap them up at the new TIC.

Take a look at a video and also photos of the venue.

As well as having more space to showcase the town, local food produce will be on sale and heritage groups will be able to display information about their work and historic Tamworth.

The TIC will also be able to open for longer - inline with events at the Assembly Rooms, it will also be more accessible for disabled visitors and a car park is available directly behind the proposed new location.

And according to Anica Goodwin, Tamworth Borough Council Assistant Chief Executive, the relocation will make the TIC easier for people visiting Tamworth by bus and train to visit.

She said: “The TIC is essential for us to showcase Tamworth and everything the town has to offer. We simply did not have the space at the Market Street venue to grow. We want to make sure we are promoting Tamworth to the best of our abilities; this new venue will allow us to do just that.”
