This summer, Worcester is set to enchant locals and visitors alike with a unique musical journey through the city, courtesy of the Worcester BID in collaboration with the historic Three Choirs Festival.

Running from July 27 to August 3, the Worcester Sounds Trail is an immersive experience that combines the city’s vibrant culture with its rich musical heritage. As part of the Three Choirs Festival, this trail will feature an array of performances and interactive installations throughout business locations in Worcester. There are 15 shield shapes trail stickers to find and 3 special gold ones, displaying key highlighted artists from the festival!

The Three Choirs Festival, one of the oldest classical choral music festivals in the world, dating back to 1715, returns to Worcester this year, promising an exceptional lineup of choral and orchestral performances. In conjunction with this prestigious event, the Worcester Sounds Trail aims to extend the festival’s reach beyond traditional concert halls, inviting the community to explore the city’s scenic spots while enjoying live music.

Visitors can expect a variety of performances from local and international artists, set against the backdrop of Worcester’s historic landmarks. Enjoy the music in the bustling city centre by taking the trail, offering a perfect blend of music and exploration, providing an engaging and dynamic way for city-goers to experience the festival’s spirit.

The initiative not only celebrates Worcester’s rich musical legacy with its ties to Elgar, but also supports local businesses by encouraging festivalgoers to explore shops, cafes, and restaurants along the trail. Worcester BID’s efforts aim to boost the local economy while enhancing the cultural fabric of the city. Did you know that Worcester is over 67% independent?

Participants can access the trail map through the Worcester BID website or pick up guides at trail locations throughout the city, at the Three Choirs Festival Box Office or from the Tourist Information Centre located at the Guildhall.

The Worcester Sounds Trail is poised to be a musical highlight of the summer, offering a delightful fusion of music, history, and community spirit.
