Tamworth Castle Museum is an iconic landmark and a vital heritage and cultural treasure in a town undergoing transformative regeneration.  It is an important resource for the local community and attracts visitors nationally. Whilst the motte and bailey castle site dates back to 11th century, the museum collections range from the Staffordshire Hoard and Anglo-Saxon heritage, to social history collections revealing development of the town and its role in UK political history.

The Tamworth and District Civic Society was founded in 1973 as Tamworth Civic Society, and after a short period of inactivity was relaunched in September 2015 as TDCS. The revitalised society was soon described by Civic Voice, the national body of the civic movement, as one of the most active in the country. TDCS is the planning, conservation, environmental, local history, and heritage amenity society for the district, with the motto "Protecting the Past, Promoting the Present, Planning for the Future". It aims to preserve, promote, and celebrate the heritage and history of the area; to protect and improve the natural and built environment; to advance civic pride and engagement. The Civic Society is a campaigning community forum for improvement. With a strong, shared voice, members believe that they can make a difference for the better, to create an attractive town and district, with a sustainable infrastructure and a thriving, cohesive community that takes justifiable civic pride in its heritage and local identity. In pursuit of its aims it works wherever possible in partnership with organisations with shared interests.
