Want to know what you can do with any leftover packaging from Easter? Check out this video which shows you what to do.

No need to send crisp packets to landfill! A crisp packet recycling point is now in place at Worcester's Guildhall (High Street - WR1 2EY). Go through the main entrance and it's in foyer, to the right of the main staircase.
The scheme is run by Walkers Crisps, but any brand can be deposited here (as long as it's a crisp packet - no other snacks please!) When we've collected enough, TerraCycle UK will collect them and and convert the packets in to new products.
There are also crisp packet recycling points at Tudor Grange Academy, Blessed Edwards College and the Heart of Worcestershire College.

Worcester is a wonderful piece of England. If every town and city was as English as this then Brexit would not have happened. A great example of a city that has retained it's English identify instead of being turned into a cultural and religious spaghetti and ice cream miss match. It seems to have encouraged integration instead of encouraging separation and segregation. When in Rome?

Worcester has got it right. Just a pity that the politicians and most of England councils got it wrong.

And that is why we have Brexit.

Worcester is a beautiful city with a perfect mix of shopping and restaurants combined with historical buildings and a beautiful riverside walk. As soon as I arrived I got a great feeling about the place and really enjoyed walking around the pretty town centre and along the river. I'll be visiting many times in the future.

Great pubs diners clubs .something for all including great tattooists .but not many good tattoo shops Ink. Give it a miss pink ladies deffo miss not great an does not do a great job sorry in fact miss both salons an go to circle of swords

Wonderful city by the river severn. Cathedral is mind blowing and good shops and walks. Used to go as a child and still visit regularly. A change from the city.

Take a walk around wonderful Worcester and make sure you have a walk around the beautiful cathedral which is free to enter. Great for shopping and plenty of places to eat...... Most enjoyable day.

Nice place..parking easy for shops. Most shops on the high street plus cafes and historical places.. the Cathedral is magnificent..

It is the place I fell in love. I married,I had my first child and conceived my second one. It was my real first home. A Lovely place for a multicultural me.

I love worcester, I will be visiting on Saturday to do some shopping as it's my 43rd birthday � � � � hopefully the sun will be shining.

I love this city. I think we should all be very proud .... it's beautiful and always expanding but in very sensitive ways. I � Worcester xxxxxx

I like Worchester more than any other because it portraits the old England. It is very nice and quiet

, the people are very warm and friendly. Plus the countryside is very nice.

Gorgeous place, good selection of shops; high street, designer and independent boutiques.



Nice places to dine out and it’s good to get fresh air in between stores and admire the architecture!

A lovely place for a day out shopping and lunch out in a lovely pub in worcester

A beautiful � city with lots of lovely and interesting buildings. The Guildhall is surprisingly beautiful. The Cathedral though has it all. History, timeless atmosphere and beauty in abundance.

Having lived here off and on for well over four decades it is now the only place I class as home.

Worcester is pretty in parts. The old stuff is great. Big old churches, ice age rivers and civil war stuff. Brill. What wasn't so brill was the high street. Too many coffee shops. The people were perhaps trying to hard and were super friendly warm and polite. Worcester is the place you've heard of because of a penny pinching member of Parliament but never visited. You really should.

We regularly walk along the river but today I have never seen so many seagulls people need to stop feeding them

I love Worcester it is my home , my Church community and friends are here , it is a delightful historic rural City and I love it . Worcester people have always made me welcome and I know I belong here .

We have travelled to many places in the world , lived in different countries but are always delighted to come home .

I have lived in Worcester all of my 70 years and I love it!!! I could not imagine living anywhere else and hopefully at my age I will never have to. I do not agree with all the changes that are made but on the whole it is still a beautiful city.
