Events in Worcester From 6th April – 12th April 2026

Events in Worcester this week feature a steady flow of cultural activity across the city. On 5 April, The Commandery hosts a needle felting workshop where participants make Easter bunnies or small ceramic-inspired animals using wool from local farms, work happens in the building’s original Norman-era vaults. Later that week, on 7 April at Bransford Common, a foraging walk led by an accredited chef covers native plants such as wood sorrel and wild garlic; attendees learn how to identify edible species while gathering ingredients for low-impact dishes.

Music events include two intimate sets: one in the south transept of Worcester Cathedral on 6 April with folk songs from West Midlands traditions performed acoustically, no amplification. The other is a live performance by local bands at a converted warehouse near Foregate Street station on 10 April, original compositions paired with visual art inspired by city streets.

Social gatherings are also scheduled: an adult-only evening at the Worcester Guildhall bar (30+ only) runs from 8pm to midnight, focused on conversation and board games without digital devices. On 9 April, a storytelling session takes place in the old archive rooms of The Shire Hall, elders share memories tied directly to places like St John’s Churchyard or the River Severn walkways.

Tribute performances continue at Festival Theatre through Sunday; recent sets have included interpretations of late-20th-century pop records performed with period instruments. All events are listed in full below by time and venue location.
