A great day out for the kids. Lovely clean and spacious pool with salt water and the temp was just perfect for a warm day. They could do with some more changing rooms as it got really busy and many were just changing poolside. Reasonably well priced and would be great if they threw in some inflatables for the kids to enjoy. Will definitely be back on a warm day!
Droitwich are lucky to have a beautiful lido in their town. I visited this morning and shared the pool with one other swimmer. I’m not sure the water temp was 22° as the sign stated? The pool, surrounding areas and changing rooms were spotlessly clean. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. I’d booked the 13:30 slot ( I was travelling North) but arrived earlier and was able to swim at the earlier time. The showers did take some time to run warm. A lovely cafe is next to the pool. After my swim I enjoyed a toasted sausage sandwich and coffee. Friendly staff here too! A fabulous asset for the town.
I was lucky to find this place! What is the most important thing for me, that I don’t need to buy a membership, I just can register for free and use this amazing outdoor pool. All my family were impressed with the pool. The only thing that was not on top, it’s changing rooms. The water is everywhere and floors are pleats dirty. But , on the hot days this pool is a must have!
The pool was beautiful, not too deep and very comfortable for swimming. There was plenty of room in the water as it wasn’t crowded at all. The changing rooms were spacious with many cubicles, which made everything easy. We really enjoyed our time there and would love to return.
Enjoyed a family trip here yesterday afternoon. The water was absolutely freezing which was unexpected. The changing rooms were in need of a good clean, pretty grim! My children loved the pool and the splash pad area. We would visit again.
I had several difficulties with my booking and initial communication with customer service, which was frustrating and time-consuming. The booking system automatically added an extra ticket without it being made very clear, and at first the lido did not acknowledge the issue. Responses to my emails were also slow, which made the situation harder to resolve. On the day of the visit, the water was very cold, which affected our enjoyment. That said, a different customer service representative later got in touch and arranged a refund, which I appreciated. While the experience overall was disappointing, I’m glad the matter was eventually resolved
We didn't use it but it was very busy. Restaurant and toilets nearby.
We visited last week when it was around 25°, the water was really nice, refreshing but comfortable. Came today in the heatwave 31° and the water was freezing, almost unbearable. If only there was any space to swim to warm up it wouldn't be an issue but they let way too many people in a slot. The amount of screaming, jumping, splashing children is also something to be mindful of if you came here to relax, it's not going to happen. Shame the adults only slots are only super early in the morning or evening and half the time as regular slots. I'm sure people would be interested in a adult only slot during the day, one specific day of the week of only.

Wonderful little farm, particularly targeting toddlers for toddler time, which our 16 month old absolutely loved!! Great range of animals to see, and activities for them to enjoy! ‘Bubbles party’ and sitting up on the tractor and milk float were a hit too!
A good place for families to visit, the playground is shaped like a tractor and great for kids, there is also a small soft play for under 5s. I was expecting the area where they keep the animals to see to be bigger, it's not much bigger than a standard field with mid sized pens for the goats, cows and sheep. There is a fairy trail and a few peddle for carts for older kids. There is nothing wrong with the place, everything there was very good - but for the ticket price I was just expecting a bit more and left feeling a little disappointed at the size of the place. Maybe I would have felt better if we'd manage to to the walking trail to salwarpe but as this appears to be mainly on public footpaths I could do this anytime without having to pay for entry
I’m really sorry to say this but Halloween is pretty awful here this year. Half building site, sorrowful children’s disco, slow service in the cafe. Other than two, the go carts were all broken so unusable. I’m not sure what has gone wrong because We came here two years ago and it was much much better but they seem to have gone backwards. Either budgets were tight or they didn’t want to invest this year. My advice is not to spend the money as it’s not worth it. I’m giving it two stars because the new park is good. I can’t post many pictures as there are kids in them.
Wonderful day out! I will say the place is very hilly so if you're someone with mobility issues this is something to take into consideration. It's also a cashless venue. If you're just visiting for ice cream there is a lovely little playground out front with some benches. Inside, the cafe is a good size with a small soft play area for under 3s. The food and drink was decent, touristy prices of course. On our visit they had a bubble area set up which the kids loved! The main playground is just lovely with lots for the kids to play on, there's a big zip line off to one side and 2 bouncy pillows to the other. By the entrance there is an area of ride ons for smaller children. If you head past the zip line you'll find a space hopper race track, haybale climbing and go kart area. There is also a fairy themed walk and of course farm animals. For an extra £2 each you can tractor ride round to :gnmmnm0?..see
Spent a day here last week with my home education community. Beautiful farm with lots of activities. Icecream and salt workshop was fantastic
Went to ChurchFields as part of a school trip, we were thoroughly impressed with everyone there, great facilities perfect for the children and great fun! Would highly recommend coming here as a school trip, or just with your family.
We’ve been to this farm park before and had a lovely time, so we were really looking forward to coming back for the firework display. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge letdown from start to finish and raised serious safety concerns. When we arrived, there were no staff or clear signs to tell us where to go for the event we’d booked. We had to walk back to the entrance to ask about animal feed, as no one mentioned it or offered any when we arrived — poor communication. Once we finally got into the farm area, there was very little for the children to do. The play area was in complete darkness, which made it unsafe and honestly quite frightening for the younger ones. My nephew was scared to go near it because you couldn’t see a thing, and there was no lighting in that area whatsoever. It felt like an afterthought rather than a family-friendly setup. As the fireworks were about to start, there were still no clear directions or staff around to guide people to where we were supposed to go. We ended up following other families and found ourselves near an area fenced off with barbed wire, which is completely inappropriate for an event aimed at families with children. Unfortunately, my young nephew accidentally brushed past it and cut his face. It was an awful moment and completely avoidable if proper precautions or safer fencing had been in place. By that point, everyone was upset and just wanted to leave. The whole evening felt disorganised, unsafe, and poorly managed — nothing like the fun, welcoming experience we’d had on previous visits. I really hope the organisers take this feedback seriously. Basic safety measures, proper lighting, signage, and staff guidance are essential for events like this, especially when children are involved. Sadly, after this experience, we won’t be returning
4th and last visit for us as a family. Last year was great, this year was shockingly bad. This year’s ‘Fang-Tastic Fun Farm’ was the normal farm with a disco that looked like it’d been set up in 30mins. The main Halloween feature was a bright white marquee set up on a grey concrete pad, with one set of disco lights (to no effect as it’s so light in there), a speaker and a bubble machine. It felt like an Ant & Dec prank. I was watching parents enter the marquee and their faces drop. Normally the staff they have dressed up are amazing. Interacting with the kids and making the place come alive and really feel like a special/themed day out. Nothing like that, this year. Even the disco DJ was a member of staff from the cafe wearing a high vis’ jacket. No children’s entertainers of any kind. Building works going on… fair enough. But no effort made to isolate the works. Even throughout the ‘disco’, you could hear the diesel engine and reverse beeps of the digger working behind the marquee. Something major has happened this year to have this effect and I can’t believe management looked at this setup & thought it’d be appropriate to market it and sell tickets for it in the way that they did. I think you’ve just lost a whole load of loyal, repeat customers. A real shame.

A very interesting and informative place, well worth a visit. Staff are very helpful and seem genuinely interested in the history of the local area. To be honest I only visited because of the appearance of the building itself. Which can only be seen in the distance of one photo. The photographs were taken originally to be uploaded to ‘replace’ the Google photos of St Andrews Square which is much more interesting than the recycling bins they show. I particularly liked the pieces of modern sculpture included in many of the buildings. Well worth a little more awareness as you walk through the shopping area.
Very helpful staff and got exactly what I was looking for.
Very interesting free museums. One explains the history of salt production in Droitwich and the other is about radio transmission equipment. Great to pass half an hour away. Very friendly lady on reception too.
Wow! apologies to other information centres but for us we feel this is the best ever visited. Set in an attractive historic building with character it's well laid out, clean and welcoming. The staff are friendly helpful and interested. There is the best range of leaflets on both local and national places of interest as well as special interest parts. The Heritage part adds character and a pleasant stay capturing local interest. Well Well worth popping in. Feels more like tourist information centres used to be. 5*++ Thanks
Popped in today well twice when had more time as so nice in there! Lots to see including costume exhibition so worth a look! Very good on information and the staff do an amazing job and so lovely!
Very small museum within the tourist information centre. Only took about 20 mins to look around but was interesting to find out the history of the town. Free entry so worth a look if you are in the area.
Very welcoming and amazing range of local and UK wide information, best we have seen in our 3 years of travels and many TICs. Good well labelled exhibits tracing history of links with salt and wireless with the surviving bits from the famous Droitwich transmitters. Well worth a visit. Start of very interesting walking tour map.
Fantastic tourist attraction well worth visiting

Having just finished our canal journey today after a two week trip we finished with the Droitwich Canal from river seven to Worcester and Birmingham canal. This is one of the most natural and beautiful canals of our trip. Vegetation and canal structure is second to none up to town then again as beautiful towards the end.
Some amazing views here always a great walk
Great place to walk by always something great to see
I decided to walk from Droitwich to Claines along the canal yesterday. I foolishly thought that the towpath would be similar to that of the Worcester to Birmingham canal in Perdiswell. It isn't. It's more like quicksand than a path. The only walkable part was the bend by Salwarpe. Have they never heard of drainage? I lost count of the number of times I took a step, only for my footwear to remain stuck in the mud.
We love this walk. Walk as little or as far as you like. Beautiful scenery . Forget about everything and tske in the tranquility of the surroundings
Beautiful waterside walk. So good for your well being. Calm, fresh, healthy, with so much wildlife to discover.😊😊😊
Very overgrown canal with very narrow channels through the reeds, certainly a worthy challenge for anyone's confidence in their boating abilities.
Wonderful place to enjoy a walk, great wildlife and fantastic views, only ten minutes walk from Droitwich train station.

A truly astonishing church, worth a major detour to visit. Based on the famous churches in and around Ravenna, Italy, the interior is covered in beautiful mosaics, created in the 1920s and 30s.
We visited Saturday for a free guided tour of the church and a mosaic making session for the kids. The church was stunning and the vast mosaics were very impressive. The mosaic making session was a lot of fun for both the children and adults! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, a lovely community feel. We definitely recommend and will visit again.
Brilliant church ⛪️ got lots to look around the toilet are inside lots of disabled access lovely vicar and all the volunteers are helpful and so friendly Brilliant gem 💎 to visit very quiet when we went car park nearby free for members of the blue badge free keep up the good work
2 men devoted 11 years to create this masterpiece of mosaic tile work.
Speechless and breathtaking Church, mosaics artworks much like in the style at Ravenna in Italy. The artworks are well preserved and one can easily spend a good hour to contemplate and enjoy every corner of this church. Important note: My experience in the church is totally enhanced (Thank you to the kind parishioner who advised me) by lighting the chapel, just insert coins in the machine at the entrance of the church 50p for 10 minutes 1 pound for 20 minutes and 2 pounds for 40 minutes Such a hidden gem!
What am amazing venue for an after tea dance with Ceroc Excite. 3pm to 7pm. Easy parking and plenty of it at the rear of the church. Music amazing. Hot drinks, soft drinks and cake included in the entry cost. Dancers also bring cakes to share with everyone. One a month. I check the Ceroc website for dates of upcoming events here.
Beautiful!! I saw the inside of this church when I was 17 and I thought it was "alright" now I saw it again, in my 50s and now I can really appreciate the beauty and pain staking hard work that would have gone into creating this beautiful church's interior. Very peaceful and restful and as I visited on a whim, I was thrilled, delighted and pleasantly surprised that it was actually OPEN. Thank you so much.
Amazing hidden gem on the outskirts of Droitwich Spa. Beautiful mosaic work adorning the walls and ceilings and equally beautiful stonework on pillars inside.
