They include Perdiswell Leisure Centre, St. John's Sports Centre, Nunnery Wood Sports Centre, Lower Wick Swimming Pool and Health Hydro, and Worcester Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre. Countryside Centre walks, Riverboat cruises and relaxing in the City's three main parks are just a few examples of less strenuous activities that can be enjoyed in this city of diverse attractions. It offers a unique shopping experience, blending modern, leading stores in attractive pedestrianised precincts with a whole host of smaller, specialist shops in old streets lined with timber-framed buildings. Several shopping arcades, a permanent indoor Market Hall and a Victorian Street Fayre at Christmas attracting visitors from all over the country, are further examples of a unique shopping environment. Worcester also has a large number of restaurants which cater for all cultures, tastes and budget.
Most pubs offer good food at affordable prices too.
Birmingham is a short distance away for clubs and pubs, but Worcester itself has a growing number of clubs attracting young people from all over the region.
