WORCESTER will be taking a step back in time on Thursday (October 27) as part of the city's Virtual Time Travel Trail event.
The streets will be filled with people looking at historic photos of Worcester being projected onto buildings in the city.
History lovers can take part for free, from 6pm until 10pm, and old photos will be projected onto The Commandery, St Swithun's Church and the corner of Cornmarket.
There will be other projections inside various other historic buildings around the city which will be open for the evening.
