Worcester Show will take place at Pitchcroft on Sunday, August 9, 10am – 5pm, offering something for everyone with competition displays, games, sport, live music, and cultural performances.
With the cancellation of this year’s Worcester Carnival due to scheduling issues, Worcester Show will play an even bigger role in showcasing the best of the city.
Here is everything you need to know:
