There’s something special about enjoying a locally brewed pint in the British sunshine – whether it’s a crisp Worcestershire Pale from The Hop Shed, a refreshing Worcestershire Way from Bewdley Brewery, or a summer gin cocktail made with Wildjac or Piston Distillery spirits. Whatever your drink of choice, you’ll find it tastes even better in a Worcestershire beer garden.
Whether you're a local making the most of a sunny afternoon or visiting the county for the first time, Worcestershire’s pub gardens offer the perfect setting – think riverside views, rolling countryside and gardens framed by orchard trees.
Here are some of the best beer gardens across the county worth seeking out – where the surroundings are just as enjoyable as the drinks.
