About Worcester

Nestling in the foothills of the Malverns and on the banks of the River Severn the beautiful city of Worcester offers a wealth of experiences to satisfy even the most discerning visitor.

Steeped in history, Worcester is an ancient city with a thoroughly modern outlook. Its magnificent architecture is the perfect backdrop to a wealth of exciting cultural and sporting events that bring the city alive.

The world-renowned Three Choirs Festival takes its turn in the city, while The Three Counties Show Ground, Worcester Cathedral and Worcester Rugby Club attract people from all over the country with their shows, concerts and events. The Worcester Festival, Victorian Christmas Fayre and, new for this year, Worcester Feast, celebrate the very best of our ancient city.

If shopping is your thing, then take a walk into the new-look CrownGate Shopping Centre. One of the best-loved shopping centres in the Midlands, it’s a truly modern and exciting shopping experience with more than 60 stores, cafés and restaurants offering an unrivalled choice of independent boutiques, department stores and top UK retail brands.

From theatre to music, markets to museums and shopping to sporting events, it’s easy to see why Worcester is hailed as one of England’s most vibrant shire cities.
