FAMILIES are invited to enjoy a fun-filled day out at this year’s Worcester Show.
The annual event, taking place at Pitchcroft on Sunday August 9, is celebration of all the city has to offer, 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 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 feature a wide range of sports and dance groups, with displays held throughout the day and a chance to try a new activity yourself.
And live music will be running throughout the day on the BBC Hereford & Worcester Main Stage, with new and community acts featured on the Community Stage.
