✨ 🧧 Support Chinese New Year 2026 in Worcester 🧧✨

Help Us Raise £5,000 to deliver another spectacular celebration on Sunday 22 February 2026

For over 25 years, Worcester has celebrated Chinese New Year with colourful, cultural festivities, creativity and community spirit. The event has become a highlight of the half-term calendar for families from across the West Midlands filled with fun workshops, musical performances, a traditional tea ceremony and a spectacular lion dance.

In the spirit of the Year of the Horse - bold, energetic and full of hope for the year ahead - we hope to welcome over 1,600 people to the Museum of Royal Worcester and the Royal Porcelain Works for our biggest, most inclusive celebration yet.

To make this possible, we need your support.
