Worcester Victorian Christmas Fayre returns after pandemic cancellation

Gary Davis said the event was "the best of the year" for his business

More than 100,000 people are expected to visit Worcester's Victorian Christmas Fayre, organisers said.

The event returned on Thursday with about 200 stalls after the pandemic cancelled it last year.

Over four days, about £7m could be injected into the area, Marc Bayliss, Conservative leader of the city council, said.

Stallholder Gary Davis said Friday was his second best ever day in 20 years of selling fudge.

"This is my best show of the year," he said.

"It's my favourite event. It's my home event... I just love it - and I get to dress up."

The fair has about 200 stalls in seven streets this year
