Friendly management, we visited to see Stray and Ken Pustelnik's Groundhogs. Decent size stage and plenty of room to watch from floor or seating with a bar area too. Large enough to fit a decent size audience but small enough to give a feeling of intimacy. Will be happy to go again.

Loved the gardens & the mongoose grave stone!! Lots of local history & artefacts. The building alone is worth the visit & the £4.50 entry fee lasts for a full year means you can visit as many times as you like! The guy on reception was a font of information too very interesting. You could see he was passionate about his job & such a good story teller. Well done Evesham Museum

The Regal Cinema

Offering far more than an ordinary cinema, our day time up-market coffee shop turns into a wine bar in the evening alongside our Circle and Auditorium Bars. Audiences have the choice to watch films sat at candlelit tables on the ground floor or to snuggle up in the double love seats, regular seats or one of our four Royal Boxes in the circle and enjoy refreshments from any of our bars, before, during and after the film... Films range from blockbusters to classics, family favourites to art house and independent. We have family films every weekend and extra family shows in the holidays, as well as parent and baby shows on Thursday mornings. On Tuesdays we host Silver Screen matinee shows and Big Breakfast screenings are the perfect start to the day. The Regal is a true community venue, and, in addition to films and live screenings from the Royal Opera House, we host a broad range of events live music and comedy, as well as other live performances.

Came to the Regal to see Jasper Carrott and had a brilliant time. We booked early and managed to get the love seats upstairs with a bottle of wine to boot! - I think all the shows were sold out. The show was excellent throughout and just as good as we remember Jasper from his TV heyday. All the staff were enthusiastic, friendly and approachable, which greatly added to the experience at this very special and engaging venue. We thought the food and drink were great value, especially when compared to the more well known cinema chains, with reasonable waiting time for drinks during the interval (although we would pre-order next time). We really love the Regal and will return at every opportunity.

Coach & Horses

A historical building serving the local community for many centuries, currently serving a fine selection of real ales and the expected lagers, wines and spirits. Meals are served week day evenings and afternoons at the weekends. Enjoy a casual drink in the bar or a slightly more refined atmosphere in the lounge, with the courtyard offering a secure outside area. A large car park and garden support the activity in the function room.

Bright, clean and airy if basic decor to this local. Booked ahead due to the pandemic. Great Steak and Chips and the two real ales were excellent condition. Friendly staff.

I have been visiting Evesham Country park for several years and wanted to champion this great retail park. There are plenty of spaces to park with generous spaces. It is always kept very clean and tidy. The variety of shops is great from household goods, clothing, to crafts. There are lovely cafes too. There are clean toilets and a cash point machine.
