Pop into Worcester this Christmas and put the magic, delight and romance back into those precious few weeks running up to Christmas.
Worcester’s historic timber-framed buildings and winding streets are home to independent shops and provide a setting from a bygone age that contrasts beautifully with the city’s high street and shopping centres which are home to some of the UK’s leading retailers. Combined with quality restaurants, pubs and cosy café bars you can enjoy a heart-warming Christmas welcome again and again because once upon a time is never enough.
Visit Worcester city centre prior to the big day and you’ll find some of the very best shopping in the country, and the perfect places to ‘eat, drink and be merry’.
Shop at unique independent stores, make the most of the big High Street names, take a luxurious midday break with coffee and cake and then, after exploring even further, why not extend your stay and treat yourself to a delicious meal in one of the city centre’s many tempting eateries?
And with late night shopping on Thursday evenings when many shops will be open until 8pm, convenient, affordable parking and everything within easy walking distance, it’s a unique experience that’s so much more pleasant than spending long hours searching fruitlessly online or battling your way through an anonymous and overcrowded retail park!
Don’t forget about the city’s amazing festive events, starting with the Christmas Lights Switch-on on Saturday 14th November, followed by the Arrival of Father Christmas on Sunday 15th November and the Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre from Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th November.
On Thursdays from 4pm and on Saturdays, from 19th November onwards, there will also be a whole host of magical and free street entertainment for all the family throughout the city centre. Watch community choirs singing festive carols, be amazed by acrobats performing enchanting acts in a giant snow globe, participate in a shadow puppetry workshop, see live reindeers and take a family picture in the pop-up Christmas photo booth. Don’t miss the sparkling performances by LED dancers, meet Bjorn the friendly polar bear and make friends with the lovely penguin family!

You’re invited to come to Worcester for a fun-filled festive programme to shop, eat and play this November and December!

We’re sure that you will want to come back again, as visiting Worcester only ‘once upon a time’ is never enough.
