SUMMARY:The Sound of Music
DESCRIPTION:Our Star Theatre Company makes a much-anticipated return to Malvern Theatres with Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II‘s timeless classic The Sound of Music. This is their 5th community musical and follows their hugely successful and acclaimed productions in the Forum Theatre of Fiddler on the Roof (2024) and Evita (2025). \nThe final collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. In Austria\, 1938\, an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family\, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power. The inspirational story\, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp\, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp\, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria\, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision. \nShow times\nWednesday 5 August 2026\, 7pm\nThursday 6 August 2026\, 7pm\nFriday 7 August 2026\, 7pm\nSaturday 8 August 2026\, 2pm\nSaturday 8 August 2026\, 7pm

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

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.

SUMMARY:Colwall Women's Cricket Centenary Festival
DESCRIPTION:Colwall Women’s Cricket Centenary Festival: Celebrating 100 Years as the ‘Cradle of Women’s Cricket’ \nStep into the remarkable origin story of organised women’s cricket at a free\, 1920s-inspired summer festival in Colwall\, the ‘Cradle of Women’s Cricket’. \nOne hundred years ago\, pioneering women gathered in Colwall with an ambition to bring together women who loved cricket. A 1926 tour based at Colwall Park Hotel helped inspire the creation of the Women’s Cricket Association\, the first national governing body for women’s cricket\, and began a legacy that helped shape the game enjoyed today. \nOn Sunday 9 August 2026\, Colwall Cricket Club and Colwall Park Hotel invite visitors to celebrate this little-known but nationally important story in the beautiful Malvern Hills. \nSpecial guests from women’s cricket will join award-winning cricket historian and author Raf Nicholson to unveil a new Women’s Cricket Heritage Wall\, celebrating the pioneering women whose vision helped shape organised women’s cricket. \nAs the historic headquarters of the 1926 tour and the festival’s principal hospitality partner\, Colwall Park Hotel will play a central role in the celebrations. Visitors can enjoy traditional afternoon tea\, freshly cooked fish and chips\, Prosecco\, Pimm’s and the special ‘Colwall 1926’ centenary cocktail\, created especially for the occasion. \nThe festival will feature a women’s and girls’ softball cricket tournament\, live music from the Malvern Big Band featuring Nicole Warfield\, plus singer Molly Smout. There will also be swing jazz-inspired dance demonstrations and have-a-go sessions with Coolmoves Dance & Fitness\, family entertainment and local female-led business stalls. \nMaiden Cricket and Lacuna Sports will be there with clothing and equipment for visitors to explore and try on. The event is supported by Take Her Lead\, the charity founded by former England international and broadcaster Isa Guha\, with ambassadors attending throughout the day. \nThere will be a centenary raffle with exclusive prizes\, including experiences and award-winning wines produced locally by Coddington Vineyard. Visitors can also enjoy a bar\, ice cream\, traditional sweets and optional 1920s fancy dress. \nCome and celebrate the women whose vision changed cricket forever\, while enjoying a memorable day of food\, music and community in one of the Malvern Hills’ most historic villages. \nKey facts: \n\nSoftball tournament begins at 11am and festival begins at 12 noon\nEntry to the event is free\nFree parking is available at Colwall Village Hall\nDirect train services to Colwall Station on the Birmingham – Hereford and London Paddington – Hereford lines
