Description

This is a call for market sounding prior to the possible invitation of experienced and capable event management companies to tender for the opportunity to deliver the Worcester Show event. Market Sounding focuses on suppliers as a whole, rather than the merits of individual suppliers. It includes no element of supplier selection or bid evaluation. There is no commitment of any kind inferred by either party.
The Worcester Show is your typical village show on a City scale. The show highlights the best of Worcester. The Worcester Show celebrates the creativity and green fingered skills of local people alongside a whole raft of entertainment and activities for the whole family to enjoy. It showcases the skills and expertise of local crafts, trades, businesses and residents; whilst giving a platform for clubs, societies, groups and services to promote themselves.

Worcester Show has, to date, been delivered by Worcester City Council in partnership with the community. Stakeholders and volunteers formed the Worcester Show Committee who developed and organised previous show events The show has grown in size and attendance to the point where we now attract audiences in excess of 10,000 visitors no matter what the weather.
