Cathedral Square Gears Up for the Races with an Exclusive "Golden Horseshoe Hunt"
To celebrate the upcoming “Cathedral Square Goes to The Races” event, bringing Ladies’ Day to the streets of the Square on Saturday, June 6th, 2026, Cathedral Square invites visitors to take part in a week-long Golden Horseshoe Hunt. Starting Tuesday, May 26th, 2026, during the May half-term, hidden golden horseshoes will be scattered throughout the square for eagle-eyed visitors to discover.
Participating is simple: visitors are encouraged to explore Cathedral Square, and its venues on the High Street, Pump Street, and College Street to locate the hidden treasures. Once a golden horseshoe is found, it can be taken to a participating store to claim a prize.
To help hunters on their quest, Cathedral Square will be sharing exclusive clues and competition hints via their social media channels:
- Facebook: @cathedralsqworc
- Instagram: @cathedralsq
Lucky winners will have the chance to secure a variety of premium prizes from popular local businesses and brands. The treasure trove of rewards includes:
- Dining & Treats: Vouchers from Popeyes and Five Guys gift boxes from Hotel Chocolat, sharing platters from All Bar One, and vouchers from Muffin Break and Coffee#1.
- Entertainment: Group escape room experience from Escape Hunt Worcester and free golf game vouchers from Mr Mulligans!
- Lifestyle & Fitness: One-month memberships at Topnotch Gym, themed races piercing from Four Leaf Piercing, and even a house plant from The Jungle Club.
Holly Wood, Operations Assistant for Martin Commercial Properties Limited, said:
“We’re excited to bring the Golden Horseshoe Hunt to Cathedral Square as it’s a fantastic opportunity for all our tenants to come together and be part of something fun, engaging, and community-focused.
Events like this help drive footfall across the whole Square, encourage visitors to explore businesses they may not have visited before, and create a real buzz ahead of our ‘Cathedral Square Goes to The Races’ event.
It’s a great way for tenants to showcase what they offer while being involved in an experience that brings people into the city centre during the half-term period.”
The Golden Horseshoe Hunt serves as the perfect warm-up for the main event, “Cathedral Square Goes to The Races,” taking place on Saturday, June 6th, 2026. This upcoming celebration promises a day of racing-themed fun, community spirit, and high-energy entertainment for all visitors.
Don’t miss your chance to join the hunt, win incredible prizes, and prepare for a fantastic day at the races.

WORCESTER CELEBRATES 35 YEARS OF THE MIDLANDS AIR AMBULANCE CHARITY AS IT MARKS INCREDIBLE MILESTONE
WORCESTER CELEBRATES 35 YEARS OF THE MIDLANDS AIR AMBULANCE CHARITY AS IT MARKS INCREDIBLE MILESTONE
Celebrating the lifesaving organisation ahead of its official 35th anniversary tomorrow, 21st May 2026
The Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is celebrating a monumental milestone! Tomorrow, Thursday 21st May 2026, marks exactly 35 years since the official launch of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, an indispensable service that has provided advanced clinical care and saved countless lives across Worcestershire and the wider region since May 1991.
From its humble beginnings operating just a single helicopter three and a half decades ago, the charity has grown through continuous innovation, experience, and an unwavering commitment to rapid medical response. Today, it operates an advanced fleet of helicopters and multiple critical care cars, ensuring that trauma treatment reaches those who need it most within minutes.
Because the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity receives no direct government or National Lottery funding for its daily missions, its survival relies entirely on the generosity of local people and businesses.
How You Can Show Your Support
As we celebrate this 35-year milestone, here are the most impactful ways you can help ensure they are here for another 35 years:
- Business Partnerships: Local businesses can become corporate sponsors, choose the charity for charity-of-the-year partnerships, or place donation tins at checkout points.
- Volunteer Your Time: Follow in the footsteps of volunteers like Alison Hill, the charity’s longest-standing staff member, who joined as a volunteer in 2004 and now manages the volunteer network. Dedicated volunteers are the heart of the charity’s family.
- Donations and Shopping: Support the charity locally by dropping off your donations or browsing the excellent selection of goods at our city-centre branch.
Find the Worcester’s Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Shop in Friary Walk, Worcester(formerly known as Crowngate Shopping Centre).
Happy 35 years!
