With the festive season just around the corner, more and more adult events are popping up around Worcester and Redditch.
You can also access a range of festive-themed entertainment online if you’d rather not brave the frosty weather.
Exploring Online Festive Entertainment
Even though Worcester is home to many festive events, it’s important to take into account the wide range of online entertainment that’s available. Streamers such as Netflix have recently released their Christmas content schedule, with shows including The Merry Gentlemen, Our Little Secret and Carry-On. You can also download Christmas tree decorator games, that give you the chance to decorate a virtual free using baubles, tinsel and more.
There are also festive titles like Tree Wishes, a casino online slot game featuring Santa hats, baubles and present symbols, with several prize boxes up for grabs. Each one contains a multiplier, which combines with the free welcome bonus and free spins, and adds to the fun and excitement. As games like this are based on chance, you never know what’s coming next, much like when opening a present at Christmas. Other adult games include 9 Gifts of Christmas and Real Christmas Roulette, meaning there is truly something for everyone.

If you are not able to attend events like this in person, then be sure to keep an eye on the City of Worcester’s social media pages. There you will find several event listings, as well as any updates regarding live streaming. Sometimes councils upload footage of the event, and make announcements, so it’s worth keeping up to date on the latest news.
