Visiting for Elgar Festival - Points of Interest?
Hello!
I put together a trip to Worcester for my partner who plays cello and loves Elgar. We are coming for the Elgar festival and have purchased tickets for some of the performances already! We're very much looking forward to it and but as the day approaches I wanted to get some local insight on a few questions.
Getting around - We're staying outside the city (Google maps says it's a 40-minute walk, an 11-minute drive, and a 30-minute bus ride to get into the city, so a little ways out). Our host recommended using "Woober" which he described as an Uber for the Worcester area. However, googling it I can't get much information, and reddit posts seem a bit dubious about this service. Does anyone have other recommendations or more information about Woober?
Local Favorites - Our host made a number of recommendations for activities that we've already planned to check out (Malvern Hills, March Hare, Red Point, etc.), but these were offered up after I described we loved being active and being outdoors! They don't feel like a Worcester experience as much as just some experiences that are in the area. My partner and I are both active and love to walk and hike. We also like biking, but I just can't seem to find a place to rent bikes that isn't an hour's train ride away. We also both love museums! However, we're really game for anything. I would love to hear any recommendation! If it brings you joy it'll probably bring us joy too
Thoughts on the Elgar Festival - We're already planning to see a number of performances, but any insight to the local festival is welcome!
Thank you for any of your thoughts!
