Greyfriars is a late-medieval merchant’s house, rescued from near-certain destruction in the 20th century and lovingly rebuilt by siblings Elsie and Matley Moore. In the early 19th century, ten cottages were constructed in the back garden. The eclectic restoration conceals more than five centuries of remarkable history.

GREYFRIARS HOUSE AND GARDEN REVIEWS
An absolutely cracking visit if you can get on one of the daily tours of the house. Our guide was a mine of information and anecdotes and you truly get a deep dive into the history of an ancient town house.
Guided tour was fantastic our guide was very knowledgeable and knew his stuff. The story of the house its ups and downs the families within was better than a soap opera. I loved my time here. Nice cafe too although didnt partake in any fare. Would definitely recommend.

The Guildhall Worcester is undeniably a splendid historic structure. This Grade I listed building was constructed in the Queen Anne architectural style and served as the administrative center for Worcester and the site of the Worcestershire County Civil and Assize Courts. The main entrance was in the center bay, framed by Composite order columns, and adorned with a fanlight and architrave. With a storied history, it once held the esteemed position of being the city's focal point for law and order. Today, it provides both tourists and locals with a captivating glimpse into Worcester's diverse and illustrious past. The hall can accommodate up to 200 guests, making it the ideal central venue for a wide range of events and occasions.

THE GUILDHALL WORCESTER REVIEWS
I attended the council-run Black History Month event there. It is superb that Worcester can have such an event. The mayor hosted a guided tour of the building, which was amazing; from its early beginnings 809 years ago to the ornate building we have today. He mentioned that the guildhall is the people's building and is open to the public on most days, all day. I will be back. The history of the cells below the court room was especially interesting.
Beautiful building, gorgeous architecture, right in the middle of the main high street in Worcester, didn’t have time to go round and look but you can go look round the place, which I’d love to go back and do.
Some v nice stallholders especially young couple selling jesmonite and young man with his handmade soaps.saw chairs the queen and Prince phillip sat in on previous visit.

Huntingdon Hall is Worcester's foremost live music and entertainment venue, nestled in the heart of the historic city, specifically within Chapel Walk at Crowngate. Originally a chapel, the building had ceased its religious functions by 1970. However, in the late 1970s, the city council acquired the property to redevelop the site. Thanks to financial support from Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council and the dedicated efforts of a team of fundraisers, Huntingdon Hall reemerged in 1987 and has now been transformed into a concert venue. Huntingdon Hall is recognized for providing a distinctive platform for folk music. In addition to its folk music offerings, it has gained increasing acclaim for presenting outstanding comedy performances and hosting various entertainment genres, including classical music, jazz, blues, and spoken word activities.

HUNTINGDON HALL REVIEWS
Lovely place, great for intimate gigs, staff lovely, they are all volunteers. We go there regularly and if you book and pick up the tickets from the box office, no booking fee which is quite rare nowadays.
This is a beautiful building with a big difference between the outside which is modern and the amazing 19th century interior. A stunning concert venue.
Nice old chapel, intimate venue, not brilliant for wheel chairs or problem walkers , but would definitely recommend it.
