What's on in Upper Hoden Farm

Worcestershire, England

From craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to quiz nights that'll test your knowledge of Worcestershire trivia (yes, really) — Upper Hoden Farm has it sorted. Coffee mornings, farmers' markets, film screenings, book clubs, open mic nights, toddler groups, and the occasional village fête that runs like clockwork. All the events that happen in village halls and community centres and local venues that the big listings sites don't bother with. We check the parish council pages, the library noticeboards, the venue websites buried three clicks deep. If it's happening locally and it's worth knowing about, it's here.
