Discover the rich heritage of one of England’s most charming spa towns, famed for its invigorating Water Cure.

Join one of Malvern Civic Society’s volunteer guides to trace the town’s evolution from a 19th century spa destination to its important role in the development of radar in World War II. Along the way, explore Victorian architecture, Great Malvern Priory connections to composer Sir Edward Elgar, and sites celebrated through Malvern’s many Blue Plaques, commemorating notable visitors and residents.

Whether you are a first time visitor or a lifelong resident, you will leave with a deeper appreciation of Malvern’s cultural and historical legacy.
