Watch the drama unfurl at the University of Wolverhampton
Located in the heart of Wolverhampton, the university is well placed for exploring the city, and is right opposite Molineux Stadium, the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. If your visit coincides with a match, why not join the throngs of supporters?
If you prefer entertainment of a different kind, the city campus's Arena Theatre showcases the talents of local performers.
Sample ale at Banks's Brewery
A short walk from the university is this Victorian park brewery, home to Banks's since 1875. If you love beer, you'll be in hop heaven here.
Step inside the brewery to learn all about its history and brewing processes, from mashing to fermentation. The best bit - you get to sample fresh cask ales at the end of the tour.
Travel back in time at the Black Country Living Museum
Further afield, this fantastic open-air museum in Dudley serves up the sights, sounds and smells of the area's industrial past. Hop on a tram to a canalside village, venture down a mine, have fun on traditional fairground rides and tuck into fish and chips 1930s-style.
