Each year Worcestershire plays host to a huge variety of events and festivals. Many are large scale(大规模的) events that attract people from around Britain and the world.
Every Christmas Worcester holds a four-day Victorian themed street market, when the streets are lined with stalls selling traditional crafts, gifts and food. Live music to suit all tastes is a regular feature at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester.
The three Choirs(唱诗班) Festival is held in Worcester every third year (2008,2011,2014). The event is billed as(被宣传为) Europe's oldest choral festival.
There are also much smaller scale events that take place throughout the year, such as village outdoor activities, beer festivals and the more quirky(离奇的), such as the asparagus auction(芦笋拍卖会) that take place each May at the ancient Fleece Inn at Bretforton. The scarecrow(稻草人) event at Belbroughton is also very popular-- villagers make scarecrow and display their handiwork outside their homes, with all profits(利润) going to the country.
From Open air theatre and music or poetry performance to civil war re-enactments(再扮演), there is always something going on in this varied county throughout the year.
