SUMMARY:Rebuilding Southern Iraq: Britain's Ultimate Failure - Talk by Tim Kidwell OBE (Midsummer Malvern)
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, after the second Gulf War\, the Allies sought to rebuild Iraq. The British army (with the Italians and Japanese)\, in the south\, was initially welcomed by the population. However\, as it became clear that the Allies were unable to restore the essential infrastructure services\, that welcome waned and security became more of an issue\, forcing the eventual British withdrawal. This talk will explore what happened and why. \nTickets: £10 plus booking fee – in aid of SSAFA – available online at Ticketsource \nImage © Kate Wrigglesworth

SUMMARY:Wreckless Eric
DESCRIPTION:Greenwood Events and Off The Road Music present the legendary Wreckless Eric at West Malvern Social Club this June. \nWreckless needs little introduction – he wrote and recorded the classic Whole Wide World and had a hit with it back in 1977. In the years since then\, it has been a hit for countless other musicians including The Monkees\, Cage The Elephant and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day\, featured in the 2022 Expedia / Superbowl / Ewan MacGregor travel ad\, and most recently in the podcast Smartless. \nEric’s three most recent albums – Construction Time & Demolition\, Transience and Leisureland (all available online) – have been widely praised as his best work to date. His live performance is a sonic journey through time and space incorporating songs from all periods of his long career. Unmasked\, unhinged and still alive – a survivor of COVID-19 (resulting in a near-fatal heart attack)\, Eric presents himself alone if not simply with electric and acoustic guitars\, and electronics of his own making. \nTickets: £25 – available to book online

SUMMARY:Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin & 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 Sayers 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.

SUMMARY:Czech Film Evening
DESCRIPTION:The Hop-Pickers (Starci na chmelu) is a film that has been labelled the first Czech film musical. It was West Side Story that inspired filmmaker Ladislav Rychman and screenwriter Vratislav Blažek to introduce the musical genre to their native Czech cinema. \nA smash hit upon its release in 1964\, the film is set during the annual summer hop harvest and focuses on the lives and loves of the nation’s youth\, assembled into the socialist agricultural brigade to bring the harvest in. \nMade two years before the Dubček liberalisation programme it is interesting to compare with The Beatles and other well-known British groups. \nTickets available from the Malvern Theatres website (film itself to be shown in the Coach House Theatre). \nImage © Kate Wrigglesworth

SUMMARY:Malvern Hills Literary Loop: Tolkien\, Lewis\, Darwin & 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 Sayers 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.

SUMMARY:Armonico Consort: Rachmaninov Vespers by Candlelight
DESCRIPTION:Candlelit choral concert brings chance to unwind and reflect: Rachmaninov’s Vespers by Candlelight \nThe renowned choral group Armonico Consort is to give a summer evening candlelit performance of Rachmaninov’s glorious Vespers at Malvern Theatres on 8 July 2025. \nRachmaninov’s great choral achievement provides a chance to experience an hour of contemplation and mindfulness in an evocative candlelit setting. \nWritten in 1915\, while Rachmaninov was on a concert tour of Russia to support the war effort\, this is music that brought consolation as well as a yearning for peace in the depths of war. It was hugely popular from the outset and Rachmaninov said\, ‘Even in my wildest dreams I could not have imagined that I could write such a work.’ He hoped its fifth movement would be played at his funeral. \nThe rich and sonorous tones of the Vespers are steeped in the long tradition of the Russian Orthodox Church and Rachmaninov found a way of turning the unaccompanied voices into an orchestra\, with singers frequently dividing into multiple parts. \nLed by founder-director Christopher Monks\, Armonico Consort is one of today’s leading vocal groups\, especially known for its innovative concerts of choral masterpieces\, and its critically-acclaimed performances and recordings. \nChristopher Monks says\, ‘Rachmaninov Vespers is simply the most gorgeous choral music ever to have been written\, and for a moment in time\, simply nothing else will matter.’ \n
