Enjoy a relaxed midweek October day in Worcester — autumn colour along the River Severn and plenty to see at an easy, unhurried pace. Explore the magnificent Worcester Cathedral (King John’s tomb, soaring nave, riverside cloister), then wander historic Friar Street for timber-framed charm, indie shops, and cosy cafés. Dip into The Commandery for Civil War history or the Tudor House Museum for everyday stories, and pop by Greyfriars House & Garden if you love NT gems.

Round things off with a stroll to Diglis Basin for canal boats and quiet waterside paths, or browse the Royal Worcester galleries and factory shop for fine china treats. Cool-weather comforts, heritage highlights, and time to mosey at leisure — perfect for an autumn weekday escape.
