Description

Worcester Music Festival takes place this year from 20th-22nd August.
The Festival is an annual event started in 2008 to support and encourage live, local and original music in Worcester and is staged in pubs, clubs, cafes, and historic buildings around or near the city centre.
Festival events take place at over 30 venues, with a line-up in the region of 200 bands and musicians. Entry to the majority of venues is free of charge, but there are a few exceptions.
The Festival is a non-profit making event run by an enthusiastic team of 25+ volunteers, largely local musicians or people associated with the Worcester music scene. Not only does it provide a showcase for local musical talent of all genres, but it provides education and professional development opportunities through a variety of workshops and clinics.
Each year the Festival supports different local charities selected from a list of nominations. This year's chosen charities are Worcester Wheels, a community transport service for the elderly, disabled and people unable to use public transport and The Worcester Snoezelen Centre, a multi-sensory environment designed to provide leisure and therapy to meet the special needs of people of any age who have physical, sensory or learning disabilities.
Money for the nominated charities is raised by way of a raffle, donations, collection buckets at the venues and merchandising sales.
