Steeped in centuries of history, Wolverhampton originated as a market town specialising in the wool trade during the Middle Ages. Its rich past is etched into every corner of the city, from its original founding in 985 to its prestigious status as a major centre for steel production, coal mining, and manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution. In fact, the city's name 'Wolverhampton' is a nod to its historical roots, believed to be named after Wulfrun, who founded the town.

Despite enduring two significant fires in 1590 and 1696, Wolverhampton quickly blossomed, boasting an array of industries from key making to iron and brass working from the 16th century onwards. The city became wealthy in Victorian times due to the local coal and iron deposits, greatly transforming its landscape. This era also saw Wolverhampton receiving its first parliamentary representation under the Reform Act of 1832.

In more recent years, Wolverhampton has evolved into an engineering stronghold, complemented by a bustling service sector. It is home to a thriving aerospace industry while maintaining a connection to its past with a history of bicycle industry and traffic innovations, such as introducing England's first automatic traffic lights in 1927.

When to visit Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton is a city that showcases different facets of its charm throughout the year. The ideal time to visit is during the summer months of June through August, when you can enjoy warm temperatures averaging around 22.1°C – a delightful climate for sightseeing or savoring a leisurely pint in a cosy pub garden.

Those preferring mild weather and fewer crowds will find the spring and autumn months of April, September, and March appealing, with added bonus of potentially finding better deals on flights and accommodations, as these are slower seasons for tourism. However, if you're a fan of bustling vibes, the city comes alive in August, which is the busiest month for tourism. Book your stay in Wolverhampton with Lycafly today and make your visit a memorable one.
