SUMMARY:Rhythm & Resonance: Hargest Creative Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artists and wellbeing specialists Kevin and Mayuri have a joint exhibition in The Book & Cup Cafe at Malvern Library\, starting 31 January through to 27 February 2026 during library opening hours (closed Sundays). \nKevin’s work is abstract and conceptual\, drawing from life’s myriad of experiences to create pieces full of narrative and complexity. \nMayuri’s work draws on her Indian heritage\, using the graphical lines from mehndhi and saree patterns in hand drawn or relief printed works\, exploring nature\, ritual and peace in chaos. \nRhythm & Resonance is a celebration of over 20 years of creativity in its many forms\, including poetry\, prints and paintings\, with both older and newer pieces exhibited. \nNearby the venue is the awesome Priory Park\, so this half term\, take a visit to the cafe for the exhibition\, to explore the books in the library and have a run around in the park: a lovely day out for the kids and you! \nJust a note that the cafe is open for service Monday – Thursday only\, but the exhibition is still open and aligns to the library times.

SUMMARY:February Half-Term: Create Your Own Wassail Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Recreate an ancient winter tradition and hold your own lively Wassail Celebration in the orchard at Elgar’s Birthplace — a cheerful\, spirited gathering rooted in centuries of folklore and festivity. ‘Wassail’ derives from the Old English phrase ‘waes hæl\,’ which means ‘be well’ or ‘good health’. Historically\, communities would unite in the darkest months of winter to bless their orchards\, deter mischievous spirits\, and encourage a bountiful harvest in the coming year. From singing and dancing to making joyful noise\, wassailing was a means of waking the trees from their winter slumber and inviting prosperity for the season to come. \nIn traditional wassailing\, noise drives away bad spirits – use pots and pans and help fill the orchard with merriment! Raise your voices and sing a traditional Wassail song to celebrate warmth\, community\, and the promise of spring. Hang toast on your favourite fruit tree as a symbol of gratitude and to encourage a fruitful harvest. \nWhether you’re continuing a tradition or discovering a new one\, creating your own Wassail Celebration is an unforgettable way to brighten the winter and spread good cheer to all—trees included! \nCome back and visit The Firs during the Easter and Blossom celebrations to see whether your Wassail has worked! \nThis event is free\, but normal admission charges apply.

SUMMARY:Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin and Dickens
DESCRIPTION:Legendary fantasy authors JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis were frequent visitors to the Malvern Hills around the middle of the 20th century and the distinctive landscape may have inspired features of Middle Earth and Narnia\, like the Giant’s Cave from The Hobbit and the Victorian gas lamps from The Lion\, the Witch & the Wardrobe. \nA century earlier\, authors Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens visited Malvern for the Water Cure and most of the treatment centres and guest houses still remain. \nThe Malvern Hills Literary Loop starts at the Mr. Tumnus bench in Priory Park and heads up past Knotsford House where Dickens stayed to Lewis’s former school Cherbourg House before pausing at the Lewis Memorial in Rosebank Gardens and following the gas lamps up to St. Ann’s Well cafe. \nAfter admiring the views around North Hill\, the trail descends to Alexandra Rd where Lewis’s close friend & biographer George Sayer lived\, opposite the former home of composer Edward Elgar. \nThe loop then heads up past Montreal House where Darwin stayed during his daughter’s treatment and past Lewis & Tolkien’s favourite pub The Unicorn Inn before passing the Hobbit door and down to Malvern Priory to find Anne Darwin’s grave and potentially the original Narnian gas lamp. \nDates and booking\nThe walks are available on many dates\, often with the option of two start times on the same day. For more information\, including prices\, availability and to book. visit the Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin & Dickens page on Airbnb.
