All our events are open to everyone, whether a member of the Society or not.
Following our recent members’ survey, our 2024 programme will again offer monthly talks on topics of interest linked to the aims of the Society, local and coach visits, and country and town walks. However, for the first time, we have created a themed programme for each month, which we hope you will enjoy.
You will see that, as well as a one-day coach visit, we are planning an exciting new three-day weekend event exploring Oxford and Blenheim and we do hope that you will be interested in joining us!

Social Events
In response to members’ requests, we are also offering a new monthly social events’ programme for 2024. Each month we will change venue and we will vary the meeting times too. The venues will be in or around Malvern and are mostly independents. Events for the first quarter are listed in the programme and thereafter via the monthly members’ newletter. There is no charge (apart from what you choose to buy on the day!), but we ask you book via Ticketsource (there is no booking fee), as we are then able to advise each venue ahead of time on numbers to expect. As part of this social programme, we will be organising a Summer and a Christmas party, and more details will be available later in the year. For further information, please contact Carole Entwistle, Social Events Team Leader, at social@malverncivicsociety.org.uk.
Forthcoming Social Events
Monthly Talks
Our monthly talks will take place on the second Friday of each month in the Eden Centre, Grovewood Rd, Malvern, WR14 1GD. Doors will open at 6.30pm, with tea, coffee and biscuits available, included in the charge of £3. The talks will begin at 7.30pm. Any change to these arrangements will be notified in the monthly Newsletter.
Country Walks
There will be nine country walks during 2024. Walks on Saturdays will start at 10.00am and the Monday and Thursday walks will begin at 2.00pm. There will be a mix of demanding, moderate and relatively easy walks. There is no charge for participating in our walks and further details about each walk will be given in the Society’s monthly Newsletter and on the website.
Please book each walk on TicketSource and do not simply arrive on the day!
For further information, please contact Christopher Barnett on countrywalks@ malverncivicsociety.org.uk.
Town Walks
Our weekly walks around Great Malvern run from Easter to Autumn. The Society’s own guides lead the walks and they start from the Tourist Information Centre (TIC) at 10.30am on Saturday and Monday mornings. The fee is £7 per adult. Tickets are available online from Ticketsource or directly from the TIC. As group sizes are limited, booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment. Note that TicketSource bookings close at 8.00am on Monday for Monday walks and at noon on Friday for Saturday walks and there may be tickets available from the TIC when the TicketSource allocation has been sold.
For groups of more than 10 people, please book beforehand at the TIC. Coordinator Lesley Cutler can be contacted on lesleyc.cutler@btinternet.com
Local Visits
Local visits are held during spring, summer and autumn and usually involve using your own transport, or a car share, and we ask that bookings are made at least two weeks in advance, using TicketSource.

Coach visits
Coach visits are again being offered in 2024, including the new three-day visit to Oxford and Blenheim,which we hope will attract your support; these should also be booked via TicketSource.
