Big screen planned to show Women's Euros

The Women's Euros and other major sporting events could be shown on a big screen in Cathedral Square, Worcester, this summer.

Plans to put up an eight-square-metre screen behind the bus stop have been put forward.

CScreens wants to put the screen up in time for the start of the Wimbledon tennis championships on 20 June and take it down after the Women's Rugby World Cup final on 27 September.

The Women's Euros takes place from 2 to 27 July and will see England attempt to defend their title in Switzerland. The Lionesses will play France, Wales and the Netherlands in the group stage of the competition.

The screen could also be used to show the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia, The Open golf championship and live cricket including the Vitality Blast, The Hundred and England's test series against India.

In plans submitted to Worcester City Council, CScreens said: "We install and pay for a Sky Public licence on our screens.

"This public licence is the same as a pub or a bar pays for, and this allows us to show the sporting action through a Sky box we will connect."

The media company said the screen would be used for a "Cathedral Square TV" channel in the mornings, showing local information and advertising.

It said the cost of installing the screen would be taken on by a sponsor.
