Malvern Theatres

Two theatres under one roof in the heart of Malvern town centre, with the main Festival Theatre seating around 800 and a smaller Forum Theatre for more intimate productions. The programming runs from West End musicals and touring dramas to comedy nights and children's shows - proper variety throughout the year.

Culture vultures staying at nearby parks like Malvern Hills Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite or Oakmere Parks will find it's an easy evening out after a day exploring the famous hills. The venue punches well above its weight for a market town, regularly attracting big names and quality touring productions you'd normally have to travel to Birmingham or Cardiff to catch.

Families might struggle with evening performances if they've got young children, though the theatre does put on family-friendly matinees during school holidays. Drama enthusiasts and couples looking for a proper night out will get the most from it. Book ahead for popular shows as the intimate size means tickets can sell fast.

Location-wise, it sits right in Malvern's centre, so you can easily grab dinner beforehand at one of the local restaurants. The theatre's reputation has grown considerably over recent years, making it a genuine cultural highlight for anyone staying in the Worcestershire area. Well worth checking what's on during your stay.
