Worcester has a lot going on, from the porcelain craftsmanship that gained it recognition in 1751 to the tree-lined walks at Gheluvelt Park, from Elgar's Victorian study to the cosy atmosphere at The Cardinal's Hat. But here's the thing: the best local events, cafes in Diglis Marina, and community happenings often get lost in social media.
That's where we come in. Each week, we filter through the clutter and deliver what matters to Worcester residents who want to know what's on without the fuss.
