Moved to Worcester a month ago, I am looking for houseplants to bring some life to my new home. Anyone willing to donate their houseplants, or recommendations about where to buy them on a budget? Lowe's is too expensive for me, and people on Facebook Marketplace do not reply.

Worcester has a history of local characters with affectionate nicknames like Chicken George and the Black Bond.

It seems like the last of the them is the guy who plays music from his mobility scooter around the high street / cathedral square area. Does he have a nickname?

Hello,
I had a pipe burst in my main bathroom behind the sink. It was mostly contained however the issue needs fixing. The pipe needs a replacement and I need a decorator to paint the downstairs, predominantly the ceiling.

Also looking into contractors that re-fit bathrooms and toilets please. Not looking to spend a fortune but would like to have at least a functioning bathroom facilities. Tired of them consistently falling apart. Think it’s been long overdue for new bathrooms.

Thanks.

Based near WRH in warndon villages

Hi all,

New to area

Just want to know is there any good basketball courts in Worcester (or the surrounding area within 20miles) that I can play basketball. Can you also tell me any courts that have lighting on during late night as I sometimes do night shifts finish work at midnight so want to play after that. Thanks

Hi all - Looking forward to the photo competition which is starting soon. I couldn't wait to share some pictures though! I'm getting back into photography with a cheap digital camera. I've just been messing around with some photo editing today. Our city has some great architecture and green spaces!

New to the area - 24F.
Can I have recommendations of bars/pubs, restaurants and things to do in the area please!!
Thanks

I was wondering if it would be considered that we could do either a monthly photo competition for fun.

Might be good to poll it, I wouldn't bother with prizes because that's when you invite cheaters.

Could also be any form of media I guess too. Open to suggestions!

What does everyone else think? 😊

Any pigeon/bird people out and about in Worcester today?

I just saw a little pigeon almost get run over in the road by Cathedral Square.

He looked small and like his wing was injured. He managed to walk across to where the bus stop was, so I'm hoping he was able to jump up onto the curb and out of the road!

I couldn't stop unfortunately 💔

Please keep an eye out for him and check he's okay, esp as his wing looked injured 🥺

Hello,

I am looking for suggestions for places to go for a couple who have had kids but finding they are at the stage of our lives now in which we have a bit more free time to ourselves and want to get out and about a bit.

We go to gigs and such as a family so maybe live music suggestions would be a good place to start?

Hi everyone,

I been to 2 places already and one was sort of okay but second place completely messed up my hair and I hate to cut it short and regrow it for 6 months.

so Im trying to find best place in Worcester or areas for this sort of cut.

I see many barbers are rushing it and they just want you to get in n out.

dont mind higher price or if its bit of drive.

thank you

I have just moved to Worcester and I am looking for car boot fairs in or near Worcester. Does anyone know of any good ones and the different vibes at them (looking to sell mostly clothes)?

Either Saturday or Sunday is fine!

Happy Friday people of Worcester.. can anyone recommend me where to go to get my teeth whitened locally ?? :)

Hi, I’m new to Worcester. I just want to ask if there’s any recreational opportunities to play football on weekends? I’m happy to bring a ball with me too.

The roof level is closed off and there sounds like serious machinery being used up there. What's going on? Are they actually putting the solar panels in? Or is it some kind of resurfacing?

Hi, I've seen a lot about this closure happening next week. Does anyone have an actual diagram of the stretch that will be shut? I'm trying to work out where it starts and ends. "stocks lane" seems too generic.

Does anyone know any quieter pubs to watch the World Cup tomorrow?

For the Worcestershire stop in his England series, Tom Scott stopped by Worcester Cathedral for some bell ringing... now a friend who bell rings tells me they were completely insane letting him have a go on a real bell with so little training...

Hi all! Kind of like the title suggests, my partner and I moved to the Brookthorpe area with our 2 baby cats in 2023 - around the time there were news reports of a cat-killing dog. We decided at that time we felt better leaving our cats indoors, but the cats are getting antsy and want some fresh air too in this warm weather.

Does anyone know if that dog still roams around? Because it makes us very nervous to let them out having seen those news articles.

Any info would be really appreciated! 😊

The original article we found: https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/23476840.control-dog-mauling-cats-death-reported-warndon/

so I love worcester it's my fav city and I come here every few weeks at least - everything has been great but what is with that area. last time it was 2 druggies barely awake sat down with lots of drink and today it is a guy totally sparked out with lots of drink again. I presume this is a regular occurrence because I barely even come here often but whether I go there I'm guaranteed to see something interesting...

I know this is gonna be a vague post but I just had a visit from a few bobbys in the Diglis area and they couldn’t have done better at their jobs nor could they have served the public good any better. They are in the shock gentleman thank you and ta ra

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm not particularly looking for a wild or jammed like sardines vibe.

But do want somewhere with a bit of atmosphere. Thanks!
