The Society has about 400 members and maintains an active social and educative programme that aims to entertain and inform them and others. We do not concentrate exclusively upon Malvern but take a broad view of the region and beyond.
Regular Activities for Members
- We hold monthly meetings with speakers talking on a wide variety of topics. Our talks are usually held in Eden Centre, Malvern.
- We have coach excursions and local visits to places of historic and cultural interest.
- We have a programme of country walks that enable members to meet together and broaden their knowledge of the area.
- In the summer the Society’s own guides lead weekly town walks.
If you would like to take part in these activities, we’d be happy to welcome you to the Malvern Civic Society.
