Community Guide Maps

Bring your memories, recommendations and favourite spots to add to our Community Guides map!

Moving In, Moving Around: Help Us Build the Ultimate Smethwick & Bearwood Guide Map, the Map of Great Things!


We're inviting everyone to contribute to our local area guide map—a practical resource focused on what you recommend and what people need to know when they're new to the area or feeling isolated. The Curiosity Cafe is gathering this essential knowledge from those in the know - you!


What would you want to know?

  • Your Hidden Gems: What local shops, parks, quiet places, or businesses do you genuinely recommend?

  • Essential Navigation: Where are the best spots for things like free Wi-Fi, community meals, or affordable activities?

  • Feeling Connected: If you were new or isolated, what place (a friendly cafe, a welcoming group, a local hub) would you mark as a must-visit for feeling part of the community?

  • Our shared history: Bring old photos, documents, or simply tell us your personal stories and recollections of what happened where in Smethwick and Bearwood.


Come to the Curiosity Cafe and help us populate the Map of Great Things with pins, recommendations, and information that truly helps us all as neighbours, to connect and thrive.
