The staff were so well informed , interesting and easy to talk to. It was a most informative visit even for non music lovers. My husband is a professional musician but I've little musical knowledge, yet it was still so interesting. The new visitors centre and shop and cafe have a wide choice of items. The menu was varied yet the cheese and orange marmalade sandwiches were amazing. We went round the visitors centre first then did Elgars birthplace The Firs on the same site. What lovely guides who welcomed us , they explained the rooms and the history. Easy access for all, except the upper floors of The Firs. The garden had musical instruments to try , even for me it was fun. Then in Elgars garden they have a bronze statue of him sitting on a bench looking over the Malven Hills, very clever. I really had a great day.

Museum of Local History

Reviewed By Chrste - Gloucestershire, United Kingdom

Small it may be but the collections of local history make it a fascinating visit. Malvern's history from the water cure doctors to Morgan cars and the WW2 radar developments make Malvern a very special town that 'punches well above its weight'. Well worth a visit !

The Tudor House Museum

The Tudor House was built in the 17th Century. Three floors are devoted to local and interesting historical objects. Our dedicated volunteers are always busy arranging, cleaning and maintaining our exhibits.

Reviewed By Blowers21 - Gloucestershire, United Kingdom

Having been to Upton many hundreds of times since we only live 15 minutes away, we decided to come and have a mini-break. Never really knew that there was a museum but it harboured lots of images of Upton past. Including the railway station memorabilia the museum is a fascinating collection of nic-nacs including some beautiful pottery by the museum’s founder. Richard and Jo were on hand to answer questions and made every effort to keep our young son stimulated. And there was the mouse trail (every good museum has one of those). As we walked back to the camper our son asked if we could come again next year - so long as they move the mice.
