We had a lovely morning with Ginnie and the alpacas and were able to feed them and get up close. We had an experience meeting and feeding the boy alpacas first and then onto the girls (who were a bit more feisty) and then the mums and baby alpacas. We finished by walking the two males (Ewan and Cosmo) and taking them through the obstacle course. Ginnie was extremely knowledge about the animals and it was great to learn so much about them and get up close to them. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Hanbury Hall

Reviewed By rainbowwarrier - Birmingham, United Kingdom

We have visited Hanbury Hall many times and have enjoyed each visit. We love to see the beautiful murial mythical paintings and feel the olden day experience. We like to walk around the gardens and see the orchards and peer into the orangery. I have liked to go and just see the holly and the friendly robin who comes to say hi. Each season gives something new. We have enjoyed Christmas time reminiscent 70s and 80th themed rooms and the beautiful Xmas trees. We have enjoyed picnic in the summer by the boggy pond which was actually so atmospheric and walked on the ice house and through the sheep. we see the formal garden change from flowers to greens.

Museum of Royal Worcester

The Museum of Royal Worcester holds the largest collection of Worcester porcelain in the world. In recent years the Museum has undergone a major £1.7 million refurbishment supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Whilst being fresh and modern, the displays pay homage to a magnificent history and heritage. The Museum's galleries and showcases are swathed in sumptuous colours showing the collection off to its best advantage. With the recreation of the factory workshop and family parlour amongst some of the displays and high quality interactives there is something for everyone.

I was in Worcester with some spare time and an online search of museums brought up the Royal Worcester museum. I went along and was able to spend around an hour exploring this fascinating collection which starts with how China is made, designed and printed etc. It is a very colourful and superb collection in a spacious and light building. The staff are very friendly and e shop is excellent. There is also an adjacent café where you can get refreshment after your visit.

Loved the gardens & the mongoose grave stone!! Lots of local history & artefacts. The building alone is worth the visit & the £4.50 entry fee lasts for a full year means you can visit as many times as you like! The guy on reception was a font of information too very interesting. You could see he was passionate about his job & such a good story teller. Well done Evesham Museum

Avoncroft Museum Of Historic Buildings

An open-air museum of 30 rescued historic buildings which have been dismantled and moved from around the counties of the West Midlands to prevent their destruction. Set in 19 acres of attractive parkland these buildings show how the people of the region have lived, worked and played over the last 700 years.

Reviewed By J9537HLmargaretl

From the lovely, friendly welcome on arrival to the care taken throughout the site in keeping visitors safe, this museum is the best. Being an outdoor place, it has been ideal for us to meet up here as a family during Covid restrictions. The facilities are well planned and kept safe with plenty of signage and compliance. The small ones love the play areas and the older kids love the space. There are well maintained picnic spots but the main recommendation for Avoncroft are the knowledgeable and kindly staff.

Had a lovely afternoon at the Lido with me and three teenagers and two 10 year olds. Because of Covid we had to book in advance which was not easy as each person has to sign on to the web-site but it was worth it. Beautiful clean pool at perfect temperature. No slides or anything fancy just and nice pool with lovely shallow end for little children. Cafe selling ice creams and snacks was great too.
