Please book in advance to avoid disappointment. Depending on walk leader, up to twelve places are available on each walk: up to eight are available to book through Malvern Tourist Information Centre either in person or on 01684 892289; the other four are available to book online at Ticketsource (small booking fee applies online). Any tickets for a Saturday walk unsold online by noon on Friday, or tickets for a Monday walk unsold online by 8am on Monday, will become available to purchase through Malvern Tourist Information Centre during opening hours. Please note that children’s tickets can be booked only through Malvern Tourist Information Centre (not online).
In addition to the standard tour described above, some guides offer a specialist tour, by arrangement, for those with a particular interest in the arts: “The Culture and The Cure”. This walk, for pre-booked groups only (minimum group size may apply), explores Malvern’s cultural connections alongside the history of the town as a centre for the controversial Water Cure. Writers, artists and musicians have been attracted to Malvern for over a hundred years – hear their stories plus how this small Worcestershire town became a major spa.
