Decide how the Arboretum fits the day
If guests visit Walsall Arboretum before the meal, agree where they regroup and whether food is served elsewhere afterwards. A garden outing needs a clear end time so the caterer can plan service sensibly.

Walsall / BEFORE YOU ASK
A little local detail.
A much clearer brief.
Walsall Council places the Arboretum in the town centre and highlights its gardens, Hatherton Lake and visitor facilities. The town’s cultural offer also includes the New Art Gallery; confirm the particular activity and meal arrangements before requesting comparable catering proposals.
Define any lakeside or garden setup
For a proposed outdoor event around the Arboretum’s gardens or Hatherton Lake, confirm the authorised event area with the operator. Ask which facilities and equipment routes apply to that space, and agree a weather alternative.
Connect arts activities to the meal
If the New Art Gallery or another arts activity is on your itinerary, check the current visit arrangements and finish time. Describe the separate catering venue and any transition time rather than assuming food service is included.
The same event, clearly described.
Give the date, approximate guests, total budget, venue type and service window. Keep names, contact details, exact private addresses and named health information out of the shared brief.
