Malvern Show anyone?

[piskieinboots]

I have done a fair few of the shows but never Malvern, I plan to do the May one.

Anyone else doing this?

[Glutton4...]

Never been (a bit off my patch ). We have been to a Land Rover Show at the same showground, and I have to say the Malvern area is well worth a visit. We took the caravan and stayed for a long weekend - it wasn't long enough!

Incidentally, there was a fabulous wine shop in the nearest town - also well worth a visit .

That would be Ledbury, a lovely Black and White town, also a great butchers, was on British camp not so long ago, granny overtook me on the steep bit (its all steep ) British Camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes - come and visit us!

Anyone fancy a meet-up....

[piskieinboots]

ooh excellent

Can you recommend a nice place to stay?

[Pootle]

Depends what you're looking for...pub with rooms/hotel/camping etc and also how far away you'd like to be!

Let me know and I'll see what I can do

all the above EXCEPt camping, I really don't do the camping thing *shudders

Close enough to walk in ideally - one has to partake of the Pimms

Now you see - that is the problem with the showground, it is quite a walk from town! There is a hotel at the bottom of British Camp The Malvern Hills Hotel - Welcome which has a good reputation for it's Sunday lunches and it is in a good position for walking on the hills etc.

Or you could try Cottage in the Wood - Hotel in Great Malvern, Malvern Hills, Hereford & Worcester, Worcestershirewhich is also on the hills and OH informs me that the food is very good (nb: he's never bothered to take me there BTW - just work colleagues )

There are also places in Malvern itself - I'll get a list together.

A bit further afield and I'd recommend trying somewhere in Ledbury or Upton-upon-Severn (unless we have floods again). The Talbot at Knightwick is a good distance away but the food is excellent (local/grown on the premises or foraged nearby) and they have their own brewery...

thanks so much - really appreciated

What day are you going on?

[pigletwillie]

The Malvern show is a corker, unfortunately I will be sweating my paps off in Qatar.

I've booked tickets for Thursday 7th if anyone is going and wants a meet-up - I'll understand if you'd rather not

[Pootle]

Oh good - I was just wondering whether I could make up an excuse to go without the kiddywinks - perfect!

[Pootle]

Oh heck - just twigged that its THURSDAY. That means I miss out on my regular 'harassed-mums-coffee-morning-with-added-cake'. Bummer. There'd better be cake at the showground
