A POPULAR coffee shop in Worcester city centre has been forced to close its doors to the public.

Costa Coffee in High Street has not been open today (Sunday) on one of the busiest days of the year for Worcester as the Victorian Fayre has been in full swing. 

Instead the doors of the shop were shut, the lights were out inside and the gate doors were closed.
