DISCOVER HISTORY

In an effort to improve visitor experience and rapidly deliver information, we just wanted to tell you that we have updated and re-launched our website www.discover-history.co.uk
 
You can now click on relevant links then click on the desired period/age for your needs.
 
We now offer Stone Age and Bronze age as well as the 1950s. There's talks and workshops on the Titanic too just in time for the Centenary as well as an increase in our famous characters including Hannah Snell, James Brindley and Grace Darling.
 
Our themed walking tours around Worcester have increased with plenty of choice to suit all interests. Our "Right Royal Visit" tour is something you need to experience, more so in the year of the Diamond Jubilee. We are also planning on developing two more tours too: one on entertainment such as the theatres and cinemas and also a Mayoral history tour.
 
We still have space for bookings in 2012 and have also started taking bookings for 2013. If you have something in mind then please do ask, we are always up for a challenge!!!
 
We look forward to working with you again in the future.
 
Yours sincerely

The 1497 Pre ambulation of Worcester

A Guided tour of the Boundaries of Worcester wrote in 1497. A guided tour delivered by Discover History. In 1497 the civic officers of Worcester decided to inspect the boundaries. It was recorded to allow the route to be inspected annually. Discover History was asked by the Worcestershire Records Office to deliver the walk to complete a project of recording the City archives. The team have delivered walks in conjunction with the Records Office before and uses the archival evidence to bring dusty documents to life. The pre ambulation is a long 3 hour walk stretching around Worcester. This takes in St Johns and the Arboretum also.

BEVERE GALLERY 

The Graduate Show 2012
 
14 Graduates – 11 Universities
An exciting show where the new voices and emerging talent amongst the latest graduates will be seen for the first time in the Midlands
 
The Graduate Show is a significant annual event in the Gallery's calendar. This show is often the first opportunity for those selected from the last crop of graduates to exhibit in a commercial gallery.
The Gallery believes that encouraging emerging studio potters is important if they and the craft are to continue to flourish. The selection criteria are straightforward. We are looking for graduates that have developed both skills and a distinctive voice. Those selected meet these criteria as well as evoking a strong emotional response in the exhibition curators.
For the Graduate Show to be truly successful, we need to maintain a relationship with the participants, wherever practicable, and a number have gone on to show work regularly at the gallery. Jewels Williams is certainly one of them, who a year on from winning the Bevere Gallery Graduate Show Award 2011, will be displaying her new body of work developed over the past year.
Each visitor to the gallery will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite piece and one lucky voter will win a voucher for £100 to be spent in the Gallery.
 
 
Refreshments
A selection of locally sourced light bites and speciality drinks are served in the Café, from 10.30am – 4.00pm Tuesday – Saturday

Wise Owl Toys

Dobble demos are a winner for Wise Owl

Wise Owl Toys in Worcester has been enjoying great

success with Esdevium Game’s Dobble, due to a

groundbreaking promotional tool – a table.

Heather and Mark Stewart hit on the idea of a small

demonstration table in-store and have used it to show off

products to customers and drive sales.

It has paid of with Esdevium’s Dobble because to date

Wise Owl has sold close to 250 units – a great result from a small independent toy store.

“We love the Dobble game,” says Heather. “We play it in the shop and enjoy showing it off to the customers. The

table is a great way of letting them get their hands on the product and once they see what a fun a game like Dobble

is, they are keen to buy it.”

Steve Buckmaster, sales director at Esdevium added: “We’re really impressed with the volume of Dobble sales from

Wise Owl Toys. Dobble is ideal for demonstrations as it is quick, easy, fun and addictive for all ages. Wise Owl have

done a fantastic job and we hope their success can be a great example to other retailers.”

Diglis Hotel News

Saturday 11 June 2011

The Diglis Hotel is at the centre

of the Waterfront developments

Worcester City Council in conjunction with Sustrans,

(www.sustrans.org.uk) who are part funding the project,

have some great plans for the waterfront to provide better

walking and cycling surfaces, more seats and best of all

lighting along the waterfront. Initially this may disrupt your

access but the Diglis will still be open for coffee, lunch,

dinner and drinks for non residents. All the plans for the

development are also available for you to view in the Hotel.

Garden improvements

With new tables and an extra bar, this year will be better

than ever outside at the Diglis, with a full programme of

events including BBQ’s and music for those lazy summer

days, snacks and lunches will be available throughout the

week with a selection of summer drinks and as always we

welcome well behaved dogs in the garden and bar.

Dining at the Diglis

With spring on the way we are in the process of making the

Conservatory Restaurant the place for Lunch and Dinners

in Worcester. The refurbishment includes redecoration and

giving the Conservatory a more Brasserie feel. With

fabulous views and new menus why eat anywhere else? If

you are planning lunch or dinner or have a celebration or a

graduation meal to plan or just a meal for the family, our

team will make it a special event. You can call us to book
