SIR – I would like to thank the Worcester News for its fantastic coverage of the 10th Worcester Festival.

It was great and caught the real flavour of what was going on.

There were nearly 600 events in 11 days, more than 460 of which were free, more than 80 different venues and we conservatively estimate that more than 250,000 people saw an event. The fireworks as always were a great finish to proceedings. Here’s to next year.
