Off to Worcester today on business, and thought I might have time to pop into Fearnley for a browse, as well as New Road. Anywhere else worth a look?

Cardinals Hat is one of the oldest pubs in the country, great beer and proper bar snacks!


Failing that there is Hawk about 25 mins away and an old school sports shop just outside the Crowngate shopping centre. It normally has a dozen or so bats in.

Enjoy

If you have the time you could ring in advance and request a Batmaking tour it's free but Fearnley usually request more than one person person on the tour.
Or you could call in to the Old forge  at Belbroughton and Ask Mike or Rob to show you  around there facility they normally have a range of handmades on display in the shop.

I think it's really good that  at Hawk you can go into the cleft store  get advice  and select your own clefts.
