Ready to ride the rails & explore great ales?

Discover Worcester’s finest pubs whilst travelling sustainably.

This self-guided adventure links you the best spots in Worcester, offering you the perfect blend of fresh air, historic charm and top-quality brews. Whether you’re a local explorer or a day-tripper, grab your trail map and enjoy some incentives along the way!

Here’s how it works:
The aim of the game is to ditch the car and travel by train.

Pick up your leaflet (with map & stamp card) at the station (Worcester has 2 great stations, Foregate street and Shrub Hill, see map for locations).

Collect stamps as you visit the pubs – when you reach your sixth, just ask at the bar for your Rail to Ale custom pin badge!

For more information, please visit the pubs’ websites or give them a call.

Collect your leaflet from Foregate St station or Shrub Hill station, it contains a map and your stamp card.

Show your leaflet in participating pubs to get special limited offers and discounts.

Any of these pubs can be the final one, but to get your custom pin, your 6 stamps must be from 6 different pubs.

Offers are at the discretion of each pub, and may vary or be subject to availability.

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.
