Entertainment in Malvern

Comprising an 850-capacity Festival Theatre, the Forum Theatre, a 400-seat cinema, bar and restaurant, Malvern Theatres is the leading cultural destination in the region and a short drive from our Malvern hotel. A Malvern mainstay since the 1890s, the theatre gained widespread fame for its George Bernard Shaw productions, hosting nearly 20 plays from the prolific author and playwright over a 40-year period. The town-centre complex was refurbished at the turn of the millennium creating a modern array of creative spaces, perfect for live music, musicals, stand-up comedy, family events and more, with the Scene Bistro on hand for drinks, snacks and pre-theatre dinner.

Dive into Malvern Splash, the region’s leading leisure centre packed with aquatic fun. The main pool includes a flume, beach area and wave machine, plus open swim sessions with plenty of inflatables as well as offering swimming lessons, dedicated fitness lanes and aquafit sessions. Located next to Priory Park, the centre also has a large fitness suite including health and fitness classes, a sauna and steam room and cafe.

Hosting more than 250 events each year, the Three Counties Showground is the main event hub in the region covering everything from dog shows, cheese festivals, antique fairs and the largest flea market in the UK. Some events attract over 20,000 guests each day, with the most popular events being the RHS Malvern Spring Festival in May and the month-long Royal Three Counties Show held every June and July. The site is well-equipped with facilities, with plenty of toilets, food and drink outlets, cash points and baby changing areas plus car parking for thousands.
