We host groups of between 2 to 6 people whose aim it is to complete the game objective with 60 minutes. The idea is simple: we put you in a room and you have one hour to escape.

I offer glass fusing classes for 1-6 people and Chris offers pottery wheel classes for 1-4 in Worcester. We are flexible on dates and times and we have combined courses too. You can throw and decorate pots or make glass jewellery, coasters, sun-catchers, decorations etc and we fire them in a kiln for you to collect (or postage at cost) at later date. Please see website for details. Enamelling too.

We went to a glass workshop at the end of October. Sarah offered us visors to wear instead of our masks, which was a great idea given the duration of the workshop. We felt safe throughout, with the set up allowing social distancing. Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, kind and helpful throughout the session, and I’d highly recommend the workshop for absolute beginners as well as those who do have some knowledge of glass fusing. We made 7 pieces in total between the two of us, and the overall experience is something we won’t forget - in a good way!

Enjoy a fantastic day for all ages set in a 10 acre maize field with the Malvern Hills as a fantastic backdrop. The Great Worcester Maze has lots to entertain for a full day out. Whether you choose to do a simple trail or be courageous and explore the large maze be sure to have a fantastic time, then play and relax in the adjoining courtyard with games such as; 'Goalie' Football, Rope Maze and many other giant garden games. Be sure to get plenty of perfect photo opportunities with the backdrop of the Malvern Hills and for the less bouncy and adventuresome get some refreshments and relax with the enjoyment of the fresh air and open space. To enjoy this countryside fun more than once this summer why not buy a season ticket to have no limit on the amount of times you visit!

This has to be an ideal fun activity during COVID times as it's outside fun in the fresh air. Toilets, picnic areas and cafe are kept clean and the whole place is managed very well with friendly and helpful staff. Kids loved the mazes and the fun activity trails which is a lovely touch and all included in the very fair pricing....something which is very rare for a family day out these days. Also good selection of hot/cold food and drinks in the cafe, which is again fairly priced. Enjoyable day out!

Excellent venue and staff at the climbing centre. My son and 5 friends had a hour of climbing and a few games and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The person showing them the ropes was Claudio, excellent manner and kind control with the boys. The cafe is a bonus, lots on offer and good coffee and hot chocolate. Lots of games in the cafe too which extends the time you can spend at the centre. Wrap up warm at this time of year though if you are not climbing, although there are plenty of blankets in the cafe area.

I first did the Mystery Castle as it was organised as a 'Day Out' at the company I work for, it was so good that as soon as I came out I immediately booked the 'Crazy Scientist' for my boyfriend's birthday! The rooms are fantastic, clever use of props and riddles, lots of exciting gimmicks and decorations. There were plenty of different types of locks, keypads, puzzles etc, so much more interesting than some other escape rooms that are just lock and keys! The back story and theme for both rooms was excellent, tense and exciting atmosphere throughout and we managed to escape both rooms but definitely didn't find it too easy! Once we got out we immediately wanted to do another and I can't wait to book the Alice in Wonderland one. The staff are so friendly and helpful and I happened to mention that it was my boyfriend's birthday, they went and got him a box of maltesers which was such a nice touch! Brilliant experience!

10. Worcester Racecourse

Worcester Racecourse is a picturesque venue in the heart of Worcester, nestling on the banks of the River Severn. The racecourse offers a great day or evening out, to spend with family, colleagues, friends or clients. The racecourse hosts approximately 20 fixtures each year, from May - October.

The Worcester racecourse, known as Pitchcroft, is a beautiful, natural resource and outdoor space, set between the eastern bank of the River Severn (flowing north to south through the city) and the city centre. The perimeter of Pitchcroft is approximately 1.8 miles in length, with a level footpath following about 1.5 miles of it, giving universal access. Much of the path is tree lined, providing an all round beautiful vista, whatever the season. Pitchcroft's expansive grassed areas provide plenty of space for ball games, picnics, and pets to run free. I would certainly recommend a stroll around Pitchcroft to any visitor to the historical city of Worcester, whatever the weather.
