TK Maxx is famous for selling designer and high street brands at discounted prices. TK Maxx is set to open a new store in Worcester at the former Woolworths site. The opening of the clothing store will create approximately 50 new jobs, which will definitely help to boost the local economy in Worcestershire.

The high street has been left feeling a little bare since the closure of the Woolworths store about 5 months ago. There will now be 20, 000 sq foot of clothing, homeware and accessories to add to the Worcester high street. A spokeswoman for TK Maxx has announced that they are delighted to open a new store in Worcester.

Customers have been told not to expect such lavish features such as marble floors as they want to pass such huge savings onto their customers.  TK Maxx currently has stores in local areas such as Kidderminster and Redditch.

The retailer has not given an exact date for the opening of the Worcester store but it is expected to be sometime in August. Tourism bosses from Worcester have welcomed the news of the opening of the TK Maxx store as it is another big store coming to the high street. Other new stores opening soon in Worcester is Peacocks, whilst current stores such as Clarks having a refurbishment.

An historic pub combined with a restaurant has gone through an extensive refurbishment, is soon ready to open its doors again to the public. The Crown and Sandys in Ombersley, near Worcester is due to open on Thursday 14th May.

It is a grade two listed building which is dated back to the 16th century. Over recent months it has undergone major structural work. Despite the structural work, the owners are confident that they have managed to restore the historical features of the building.

Work on the building combined with the traffic flow over a long period of time has possibly contributed to the minor disintegration on the front wall. The reopening of the pub also means the possibility of 12 new posts. The opening of the pub is promising to deliver excellent food with a quality service. 

Before the pub had closed for the refurbishment it was extremely popular with local residents and hopefully the success will continue now after the refurbishment.  Crown and Sandys are also hosting a special fundraising dinner. The local celebrity Sir Ian Botham, a former Worcester cricket hero will be making an appearance and also a speech. This event will take place on Friday 22nd May.

The first charity run to be held in Worcester is currently being organised. It is due to be held on the 6th September in aid of St Richard’s hospice. The hospice in Worcester cares for people with terminal illnesses. In order to provide this service the hospice needs approximately £4.8 million a year.

Organisers of this charitable event are hoping to attract a large number of runners for the half marathon run, to help raise funds for this worthwhile service. The hospice is a worthwhile cause recognised by the residents of Worcester. People from all ages will be able to take part in the marathon.

The marathon will take on footpaths at Top Barn. It is located just outside Worcester so there are good transport links and enough room for spectators to provide support for the runners. The event is due to start at 11am and an entry fee of £12.

Worcester is well renowned for many of its attractions, in particular for the Worcester Art Museum. The Museum is currently hosting the famous art work by Rona Pondick. Rona is one of the most accomplished sculptors of her generation with a worldwide presence.

Over the past decade Rona has been extremely creative combing both ancient sculptural methods along with the latest technologies to produce some of the most powerful sculptures around. This exhibition is currently featuring 14 examples of Roma’s sculptures from the past decade.

If you are looking to see the exciting sculptures by Rona Pondick then you could consider limo hire for the perfect entrance. It will give you an opportunity to share the world famous artwork with your closest friends and family. The elegant limo will match the elegant sculptures by Roma.

We can all play the guitar, well an air guitar that is. That is exactly what was required from the people of Worcester to raise some money for a good cause and have some good fun at the same time.

The event was held on Thursday January 15 by Dan Fisher who works at the Oxfam Bookshop in Worcester’s High Street.

Dan commented:

“We have been toying with this idea to hold a live air guitar event in Worcester for quite a while, as this has never happened in the city before.”

The profits will go towards fighting against cholera in Zimbabwe and was held at Evolution in Worcester.
