New decorative banners celebrating Droitwich Spa’s rich heritage and iconic attractions are now brightening up the town.
The eye-catching designs have been installed on lampposts throughout the town centre this month. Each banner captures a different theme close to the heart of Droitwich Spa – from its famously crooked High Street to the refreshing Lido, its unique salt and Roman history, the scenic canal, and the stunning mosaics at Sacred Heart Church.
The banners, funded through Wychavon’s share of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, have been developed as part of the town’s ongoing place-making efforts and have been supported by the Droitwich Spa Place Board. In future, they will rotate with other promotional banners, including the popular Rik Mayall Comedy Festival set.
Matt Nicol, Chair of the Droitwich Spa Place Board, said: “These banners are a celebration of what makes Droitwich Spa such a special place. Whether you live here or are visiting for the day, they help tell our story and make the town feel welcoming and vibrant.”
Cllr Richard Morris, Leader of the Council and Executive Board Member for Economic Growth and Tourism at Wychavon, said: “We’re investing in local pride through projects like this, which not only brighten up our town centres but also promote the unique features that make our places stand out.”
