The Guildhall Worcester

The City's Guildhall is a truly beautiful building which dates back to 1721. It has a fascinating history – it was once the seat of justice throughout the city and even housed a prison – and today offers both visitors and residents a glimpse of Worcester's rich and varied heritage.

BRASSERIE@SIXWAYS My wife and I have just returned from a lovely evening at Brasserie@Sixways. Lovely food well cooked and well presented. Attentive but not overbearing waiting on staff. Great value for money. Some might use for a special occasion, others more frequently. Whichever, it is a great evening. Well done Warriors and well done Brasserie staff.

It straddles Barbourne Brook and has two distinct areas - a formal park to the east, and an informal area managed for wildlife conservation to the west, next to the River Severn.

Simply Alpaca

Reviewed By Goatuk - Alvechurch, United Kingdom

I got the alpaca trek as a quirky birthday present for my wife and it couldn’t have worked out better. Victoria was great, very amenable in sorting out our booking and she has great knowledge of Alpacas and Llamas with a very good way of explaining things. The real stars though are the animals, a mix of mainly alpacas with an odd llama for good measure. They are all individual characters and getting so close to them was such fun, who would have thought walking an alpaca could be such fun!!! The day was rounded off with a warming coffee and a lovely cake, something which I’m sure we will be repeating.

Currently undergoing a fantastic renovation. St Helens is on the high street/fish street. Lots of community events are held here. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic when finished. I was face painting for the carnival open day. Great display outside of the works being carried out

An interesting place to visit with plenty to see, the introductory video explains about Elgar and sets the scene. The house is small but very intersting. A nice tea room to finish off the visit.
