Bewdley, a Worcestershire town on the River Severn, raised dance music star Becky Hill.

Bewdley is a picturesque Worcestershire town nestled on the banks of the River Severn, with historic streets and a wealth of attractions. The town sits geographically between two villages called Rock and Stone: Rock lies to the south-west while Stone lies to the east near Kidderminster.

Becky Hill, one of the UK's biggest dance music stars, was raised in Bewdley after being born in Bromsgrove in 1994. She began making music and forming a love for it in the town. Hill became the first contestant from a music programme to reach UK number one with 'Gecko (Overdrive)', her collaboration with Oliver Heldens, which topped the chart in 2014.

Beyond its celebrity connections, Bewdley attracts visitors with its waterfront, Bewdley Museum in the historic Butchers Shambles, independent shops and restaurants, and nearby attractions including heritage steam trains on the Severn Valley Railway and West Midlands Safari Park.
