Worcester Show to provide fun day out for whole family

Families are invited to enjoy a fun-filled day out at this year's Worcester Show, taking place at Pitchcroft on Sunday 9 August.

The annual event celebrates the city's vibrant community, bringing together stalls, entertainment and activities for all ages.

This year's Show promises something for everyone, from a Fun Dog Show and musical performances to children's rides, historical re-enactors, dance displays, along with the Competition and Community Marquees and much more.

Meanwhile, the Worcester Mela marquee will provide a cultural feast for the senses, with engaging workshops and family activities.

Among the highlights for 2026, Simply Alpaca will be attending with their friendly alpacas and llamas, offering visitors a chance to meet the animals up close.

The much-loved Fun Dog Show also returns, featuring 10 categories throughout the day including 'Most Handsome Dog', 'Waggiest Tail' and 'Best Puppy'.

Visitors can also enjoy a wide range of free activities, including some led by Worcester Scouts.

In addition, there will be a variety of children's rides and inflatables, alongside a big wheel offering panoramic views across the city.

Worcester Re-enactors will once again be on hand to bring history to life, giving a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers through the ages - complete with the dramatic sound of cannon fire throughout the day.

For those feeling active, The Village Games will return with classic sports day races such as egg and spoon, sack races and running events, providing free, light-hearted competition for families to enjoy together.

The Show will also feature a wide range of sports and dance groups, with displays held throughout the day and a chance to try a new activity yourself.

Councillor Katie Collier, Vice Chair of Worcester City Council's Communities Committee said: "The Worcester Show is one of the highlights of our city's summer calendar, bringing people together for a day of fun, celebration and community spirit.

"With so many activities on offer at an affordable price, it's a fantastic opportunity for families to make lasting memories together. You can find updated information as we get closer to the Show date at www.worcestershow.org.uk "

Live music will also be running throughout the day on the BBC Hereford & Worcester Main Stage, with new and community acts featured on the Community Stage.

BBC Hereford & Worcester's Executive Editor Rhidian Jones said: "The Worcester Show is a great event that brings the community together, and we're delighted to be involved again this year.

"Supporting local artists and giving them a platform on our stages is important to us, and we're proud to play a part in a day that so many people can enjoy.

This year's event is supported by sponsors TripelB Belgian Café Bar, Solar Select, Bottles Wine Bar and Platform Housing Group.

Tickets are now on sale on the Worcester Show website priced at £2.60 for adults, with free entry for children. On-the-day tickets will be available at £4 for adults.
