IT'S a weekend of arts and activity in Worcester. Here's just a few things you could do.

1. Dance with pineapples

Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Worcester Music Festival)

That's what one of the bands, Chevy Chase Stole My Wife, will be doing while performing at the Worcester Music Festival. It's on until Sunday and is now being tipped as one of the UK’s fastest growing metropolitan live music events. Events will be on all over the city - including this pineapple-loving band.

2. Go for a run

Sunday

Around 4,000 people are expected to take part in the Worcester's 10K, and the inaugural half marathon this weekend. If you are ready to run, here's some tips from an expert.

But if you haven't bagged a place yet, then the registration has closed and you won't be able to take part.

You could always go and cheer on the runners instead. They'll be setting off and finishing at Worcester Racecourse.

And if you plan to drive through the city, watch out for road closures.

3. See the last hill climb of the year

Saturday and Sunday

It's the Autumn Speed Finale at Shelsley Walsh with practice and competitions on both days. You pay for tickets but children under 16 are free.

4. Have a laugh

Sunday

As part of the Worcester Music Festival, a stand up comedy night is planned at St Swithins Institute, The Trinity. Organisers promise you'll go home both tickled - and tickled pink that you've been able to help raise money for St Paul's Hostel.

5. Be rebellious

Saturday and Sunday

Teenagers and adults can enjoy a punk-inspired workshop where you can upcycle t-shirts and other clothes. It's part of the Spare Room arts activities organised for Worcester Music festival and will be held in Crowngate.

6. Teach the kids how to Ceilidh

Sunday

The Whole Caboodle band will perform and there will be callers to help everyone get to grips with this Gaelic folk dance and remember the moves. It's on at the St Swithins Institute as part of the Worcester Music Festival. Better still, it's fun AND it's free.
