Alvechurch is a large village and civil parish in the district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, in the West Midlands of England, lying south of Birmingham and close to Redditch. Set in a mix of rolling farmland and small wooded valleys, the parish is threaded by the River Arrow and lies near the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, giving it a pleasantly rural feel despite good transport links to nearby towns and the city.
The village is centred on a historic church and a conservation area with buildings from medieval and Victorian periods, and has a strong local community with shops, pubs, clubs and a well‑used village hall. Economically it combines traditional agriculture and small local businesses with a large commuter population; Alvechurch also punches above its size for sport and social life, being home to a well‑supported non‑league football club and a busy calendar of local events.
