THE WORCESTER FLEA -  8th July only
We stepped back in time and enjoyed the fashions of the 40s, 50s and more as you treat yourself at a flea market in Angel Place.  10.30am - 4.30pm

MERCHANDISE, MEMORABILIA AND YOUR MEMORIES
Red, white and blue... they must be everyones favourite colours this year! And the shop windows in Worcester have been decked out with amazing displays of merchandise on this patriotic theme. Tell us which ones you like best at

And all around the city you will have seen 15 different heritage photos of Worcester from around the time that the Queen came to the throne in 1952: old shops, grand buildings no longer around and much more - you will be amazed at the changes!. The trail started at the Guildhall (or indeed anywhere en route).
