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.

We had a lovely morning with Ginnie and the alpacas and were able to feed them and get up close. We had an experience meeting and feeding the boy alpacas first and then onto the girls (who were a bit more feisty) and then the mums and baby alpacas. We finished by walking the two males (Ewan and Cosmo) and taking them through the obstacle course. Ginnie was extremely knowledge about the animals and it was great to learn so much about them and get up close to them. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Set in a fantastic location and with canapes and drinks on arrival for the black-tie event we attended, Theatrebarn is a unique experience. Recently re-opened and refurbished, this amazing converted barn has a very interesting story behind it. A superb performance by Alistair McGowan with canapes in the interval followed by a superb buffet-style meal afterwards, it simply can't be equalled. We understand the intention is to host a variety of performances with a mixture of the existing black-tie evenings along with less formal events going forward to attract a wider audience, either way, we will be back very soon. Well done Theatrebarn for a fantastic evening!

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

Overall Ratings

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.

Reviewed By Bloke1947 - Worcester, United Kingdom
I wrote a review about the bell tower following its major make over from top to bottom and it looked great, however I was critical of the railings around the bottom which were rusty and bent and looked awful. Apparently they had run out of funds. But now that has been rectified and the railings have been sorted out and it looks really good. The Abbey Gardens through the archway set it off , well done to everyone. One very slight criticism is that pigeons are being allowed to nest in the archway thus leaving a horrible mess . It wouldn’t take much to resolve this problem.
