Malvern Theatres
From their origin in 1885, the elements that make up today’s Malvern Theatres have undergone many changes, and are now a modern, attractive and dynamic centre for the performing arts.
On weekdays, the Theatres are open at 9.30am, Sundays at 11.00am.
For Club concerts, doors to the Forum Theatre open half an hour before the performance.
All seats are unreserved, but admission is guaranteed to ticket holders.
Refreshments
Malvern Theatres offer a restaurant, Scene Bistro, and two licensed bars.
Pre-concert suppers are available from 5.30pm, Sunday lunches from 12.30pm (malverntheatresbistro.com or 01684 567751 for details). The bars are open before and after the concerts, and interval drinks may be ordered in advance.
Access
Malvern Theatres welcome people with disabilities and are committed to ensuring that your visit is easy, enjoyable and straightforward. Please advise the box office if you need any special assistance. Wheelchair spaces are available. Other areas are accessible to wheelchairs and there are WC facilities on all levels.
Elmslie House, 8 Avenue Road, Malvern WR14 3AG
Elmslie House was built as ‘Falston’ in 1862 by the architect E W Elmslie for his own family use. In later life the building was a school, and had associations with Elgar and Troyte Griffith. It now hosts classes, art exhibitions and concerts, including what will be the third of the Club’s successful Coffee & Cake Concerts, this time by the Ruisi Quartet.
Seating (all unreserved) is limited to 80. The ticket price includes refreshments before the concert, kindly provided by Anna Taylor, the owner of Elmslie House. Please bear in mind that this is a family home and therefore not open at all times.
