Overlooked by the impressive landmark of Tamworth Castle, the Pleasure Grounds have beautiful floral terraces in the Summer months dropping down to the banks of the River Anker and open grassland - ideal for walks and picnics in the Summer.

The bandstand is located at the top of floral terracing under the Castle and in the summer brass band concerts are held each Saturday (sponsored by Ankerside Shopping Centre) and Sunday afternoon.

Combined with a visit to Tamworth Castle, the facilities in the Grounds are excellent for families with an extensive adventure play area for children aged 3 to 14, a cafe, themed play area for under 6's (Treasure Island), river walks and one of the highest standard public bowls greens in the Midlands.
