We had the best time last Friday at the Gin School. Everything was in place to make you feel safe in these strange times, but it didn't detract from the whole enjoyment of the evening. The building is very impressive and it was lovely to see the way the old Porcelaine works had been so sympathetically renovated and bough back into use. We were made to feel welcome and the hosts were both friendly and informative, guiding us through the whole process of both making and drinking Gin. The nice touch of a platter of savouries was most welcome and went a little way to soaking up the Gin!!!! Would recommend this to any Gin loving person, but make sure you have a taxi booked to get the best out of it..

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.

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.

Gheluvelt Park is a memorial park built in honour of those lost in the First World War. 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. There's a free car park by the Waterworks Road entrance.
Brilliant park to visit especially in the summer if you have children. Good dog walking/ playing field.

Enjoy a Cask Ale, Craft Beer or Gin in a buzzing & welcoming splendid 17th century Grade II listed exterior of tiles and etched windows. The small bar, and adjoining saloon area, have been tastefully refurbished, keeping many original features. This great Traditional pub with magnificent listed tiled frontage and its decorous sand blasted windows has been an Inn for over 200 years and still has the original flooring, bar and some fittings that can be seen throughout the bar! In 1779 it was known at the Young's Mug House, and was also called the Volunteer between 1814-1817. Following that it became the Plumber's Arms before it became the well known Eagle Vaults. The best thing about this little gem is the first floor restaurant, with Mediterranean inspired roots, it is simply exquisite in theme and food!
We visited for a bite to eat and drink during the 'Tier 2' restrictions this December. The staff were very warm and welcoming and attentive throughout our time in the bar. We felt comfortable and COVID secure as staff were wearing visors, plenty hand sanitiser and enough room to social distance between tables. We both had the Gyros - it was huge, absolutely delicious and as we sat upstairs in the restaurant the decor made us feel as though we were on holiday abroad which was lovely! The cocktails we're 241 and we're also very tasty you could tell they were made to a high standard. It was a very enjoyable visit and we will definitely visit again in the future!

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! There is a picnic facility with food and refreshments available on site, gifts and merchandise are also available. Toilets and disabled toilets are available, with free parking on site. In the interest of safety and hygiene only guide dogs allowed.
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!
