The West Midlands region covers a wide area centred around the Birmingham conglomeration, giving us a mix of city, town and stunning countryside. The region is home to a diverse range of Pagan activities, some run by the PF, some initiated by other groups. On the social side of West Midlands Paganism, is an abundance of pub moots, house moots, coffee moots and other gatherings, with something going on every week somewhere in the region. In addition to a flourishing social scene, there are numerous working groups, some path specific, some more eclectic, and there are frequent open rituals.

Pagan Federation work at a local level includes an educational strand carried through in the conferences at some moots and in talks and workshops. We undertake various interfaith activities, including supporting Holocaust Memorial Day. PF West Midlands also encourages ecological work, with, amongst other things, Earth Day rituals, tree planting and litter picks occurring throughout the year.
