Events
The Trust puts on a number of events throughout the year to raise awareness of Worcestershire & Dudley’s historic churches and to raise money for their support. Here you can find links to regular and upcoming events to find out more:
Ride and Stride – our big annual fundraising event, this year taking place on 12th September 2026. Walk or cycle to as many churches as you can, or volunteer to open churches on the day. Further information here.
Dissenters’ Way – a walking tour of Worcester. The next tour is planned to take place on Thursday 17th September 2026. For more information and to sign up, please visit the heritage open days website here.
Church Tour – The 2025 WDHCT Church Tour explored the Hidden Churches of East Worcestershire on 8th October 2025, with a guided tour by coach of churches including Upton Snodsbury, Throckmorton, Pinvin, Besford and Peopleton. We’re very grateful for the warm welcome we received from all the churches involved, and it was an enjoyable day for those attending. This tour will take a break in 2026 but we are hoping to run another in 2027.
Musical Recitals – the Trust also organises occasional organ or other musical recitals in some of Worcestershire’s beautiful churches. Our next recital is planned for 2026 – please check back for more information.
