Welcome Note Welcome to the 21st annual Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre programme.

Hailed as the Midland’s most prestigious Victorian themed street market, it really is the best way to kick start the festive season by soaking up the atmosphere of vibrant colours, harmonious sounds and enticing scents of Christmas.

Once again Worcester’s historic streets will be filled with hundreds of stalls selling an array of products including local arts and crafts, international products, festive gifts and not forgetting the tempting food court. Whether you’re looking for a Christmas decoration, piece of unique jewellery, unusual item for the home or some edible festive treats you won’t be disappointed with the varied choice on offer.

Worcester Tourist Information Centre The Guildhall, High Street, Worcester WR1 2EY

To entertain we have traditional carol singers, dance groups, school choirs and the fantastic Clik Clik Collective Victorian procession.

Wishing you an enjoyable visit to the Fayre and we hope to welcome you back to Worcestershire soon!

If you enjoyed the Fayre why not visit Worcestershire again for a truly English experience. From lush rolling countryside to magnificent hill ranges, it’s the home of freedom and tranquility, a hub for the arts and home to festivals and events galore.
