NOW CLOSED!

The Worcester Rail to Ale Trail has now finished, that’s not to say you can’t visit these great pubs!

While the trail has ended, Worcester’s fantastic pubs are still here to welcome you — and the train is still the best way to enjoy a car-free day out in the city.

Please note that incentives and badges are no longer available. If you’re planning a visit, we recommend checking opening times and details directly with each pub before you travel.

A huge thank you to all the participating pubs, partners, and stakeholders who helped bring this project to life.

💬 We’d love to hear your thoughts — if you’d like to share feedback, please use the Contact Us page on our website.

How it worked…

and where it all happened…

🌟 More than rewards…

While some pubs offer discounts, the Rail to Ale Trail is about more than incentives. It’s about discovering Worcester, enjoying time with friends, and making memories.

📍 Pubs that participated

1. Travel by train for a great day out.

Plan your Rail to Ale adventure by checking train times in advance at nationalrail.co.uk or via your preferred rail app.

For the best value, consider off-peak tickets, railcards, or group travel discounts when booking.

We’d love to see your Rail to Ale adventures – photos, pints, pub dogs and scenic strolls!

2. Collect a leaflet and stamp card at the station

Pick up your trail leaflet and stamp card from Foregate Street or Shrub Hill. There are 12 pubs to explore—use the map inside or the pub postcodes to find your way around the city.

3. Follow the route to some great pubs

Pace those pints. Sip, don’t sprint…

Other great things to do and see include:
A) Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum
B) The Commandery Museum
C) National Trust – Greyfriars House and Garden
D) Worcester Cathedral

4. Get your sheet stamped at each pub

Collect all 6 stamps from 6 different pubs and receive a custom pin badge from your final 6th pub stop.

Please be aware that trail offers and promotions are determined by each individual pub and may be time-limited or subject to change.

Please note: It can be a non-alcoholic or an alcoholic drink to collect the stamps and claim the prize. Please sip responsibly.

We hope you enjoyed the day!

Don’t forget, we’d love to see your Rail to Ale adventures…
