Droitwich Spa is a town in northern Worcestershire, England, on the River Salwarpe and has a population of 22,585 (2001). The town is situated on massive deposits of salt, and salt has been extracted there since ancient times.
Droitwich shopping is mainly focused in the traditional town centre around Victoria Square, leading to the Salter's shopping centre and down to the original High Street, with its eclectic mix of traditional shops, rather than the familiar high street multiple brands. Farmers' markets are also held regularly in Victoria Square.
Droitwich has a leisure centre at Briar Mills with gym facilities, sports halls, a swimming pool and squash courts. There are also outside football pitches with floodlighting. The centre also runs a squash league.
There are currently no late night clubs in Droitwich, with many people choosing to go to Worcester or Birmingham for a night out.
