Uniquely Worcester

Did you know Worcester has more than 300 independent businesses?

Uniquely Worcester logoUniquely Worcester is a campaign to celebrate and showcase the city’s wide range of independent businesses, running from Monday 2nd November to Saturday 5th December 2015.

With around 60 per cent of Worcester’s city centre businesses being independently run, combined with the city’s rich heritage, it is these businesses that give the city its character and make sure it’s not just any other High Street. These businesses are often hidden gems, nestled within quirky streets and picturesque black and white buildings that help to make our city so special.

Worcester boasts a unique mix of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and other service providers – beautifully complementing Worcester’s unique character. From high-end fashion to traditional toys, diamonds to arts and crafts supplies, home cooked delicacies to melt in the mouth handmade chocolates, Worcester truly has something to tempt all tastes!

Why not get a sneak preview of what Worcester has to offer and take a look inside local shops with the new Google Business View tours.

Discover your local independents this November and December!

Many businesses will have further details should you need assistance. There is also no convenience fee if you want to extend your stay!
