Choice of Seats
Worcester Cathedral provides a glorious setting for Festival performances, but it is not a concert hall. Sound is generally good, but vision is restricted in some areas. Closed-Circuit TV is provided in these areas.
Disabled Visitors
Our philosophy is to make everything accessible to all our audience and to this effect we welcome disabled visitors to the Festival and will be happy to help with special needs. A separate fact sheet is available on request from the Festival Administrator giving details of access to all venues. The Cathedral has the added facility of an audio loop for services only.
A limited number of car parking spaces will be available for disabled drivers. Please ensure that you contact the Festival Administrator on 01905 616200 for a car parking permit, and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Coach Transport
Coach transport is available to the following venues and should be purchased with your concert tickets:
Pershore Abbey, Tewkesbury Abbey, Gt Witley Church, Elgar Birthplace, Baptist Church.
Coaches will depart from King Street, Worcester (opposite the Royal Worcester Factory). Full details and coach passes will be issued with your tickets.
Car Parking
There are no facilities for car parking within the Cathedral or King's School grounds. The Three Choirs Festival provides information about public car park facilities in Worcester which will be sent out with your tickets, but has no responsibility for those parking facilities or for the security of vehicles or contents. Alternatively, the Park & Ride service in Worcester offers transport to and from town.
Cathedral Rehearsals
Admission is restricted to Stewards, Society members & those holding a rehearsal pass. Passes are available from the ticket office the week before the Festival for senior citizens and bona fide music students only. A rehearsal schedule will be available from the Ticket Office during Festival week. No photography or recording is permitted.
The Festival "Club on the Green"
The Festival Club will be open on College Green and in the King's School dining room (hot food) as meeting places for visitors and performers. There will be no charge for entrance. Information on all catering facilities and how to pre-book hot dinners and interval drinks will be sent out with your tickets.

Relax between concerts in the Day Room on the opposite side of College Green from the Cathedral. We are proud to announce than an exhibition of University of Worcester Artwork will be displayed there this year for the first time.
