Worcester Wolves Basketball Club

Worcester Wolves play basketball at a proper competitive level, and if you're staying at one of the caravan parks dotted around Worcester - Ketch or Peachley are closest - catching a home game is a decent evening out. The club competes in the British Basketball League, so you're looking at semi-pro standard stuff, not Sunday league knockabout.

The atmosphere at matches is energetic without being intimidating. Families with teenagers tend to get on well here; younger kids might find the pace of play a bit hard to follow, though the breaks between quarters give everyone a chance to grab snacks and settle back in. Most people allow two to two and a half hours for a game, including warm-ups and the post-match wind-down.

Admission costs vary depending on the fixture and seating, but it's generally reasonable - nothing like Premier League football prices. Check their website or ring ahead before you go, because fixtures run September through April, so winter campers have better luck than summer visitors.

It's the sort of thing that works well as a rainy afternoon plan or an evening activity when you want to get off the campsite and into Worcester itself. The city centre's walkable from most parks within 20-30 minutes, so you can combine it with a pub dinner beforehand. Not essential to your holiday, but if basketball's your thing - or you're curious - it's worth tracking down.
