Local hospitality businesses across Worcestershire are encouraged to sign up for Taste Worcestershire, returning from 6 to 26 October 2025.

Now in its second year following last year’s roaring success, the three-week event champions independent hospitality businesses and encourages the use of local produce.

Residents and visitors will be invited to explore Worcestershire’s diverse food scene through exclusive discounts, themed set menus, and one-off dining experiences - all available with a free Golden Ticket.

Visit Worcestershire is inviting local restaurants, cafés, pubs, and food venues to take part. Participating businesses will benefit from increased visibility, promotion through Visit Worcestershire’s channels, and the opportunity to attract new diners with a stand-out offer.

Councillor Alan Amos, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Business and Skills at Worcestershire County Council, said: “Taste Worcestershire is a great way to support our local hospitality sector while giving people more reasons to enjoy what the county has to offer. I would encourage businesses to get involved with the event which promotes local produce, boosts footfall for independent businesses, and encourages both residents and visitors to explore Worcestershire’s food scene.”

In previous years, participating Worcestershire businesses saw increases in revenue and repeat customers, providing a welcome boost to the local economy in the run-up to the busy festive season.
 

Josh Palmer, Business Owner of Rise + Grind near Pershore, said: “Taking part in Taste Worcestershire last year was a fantastic experience for us. It brought together the local food and drink community and introduced our business to new customers — many of whom have since become regulars. It’s had a lasting impact on our growth and visibility within Worcestershire’s hospitality sector.”


An information pack is now available for businesses looking to take part, along with scheduled webinars offering the chance to ask questions and learn more.
