Great Malvern, Worcestershire Clubs, Music Venues, Cinemas

• The Lammb is the place to be any night of the week. Worked in Malvern for a while teaching and never had to move from the lamb.Stay on after hours and the legend of a landlord will start showing movies...eg.Brassed off....he also drinks vodka from a yard of ale glass
• the con club was great untill upton pikies started breeding and inavding the place with thier white stuff
• Well Lighthouse you are supposed to be over 18 but 80% people in there are proabaly 13-17 years old
• THE LIGHTHOUSE... really? Yeah you can change the name but honestly the audacity of some people amazes me. The greatest club in Worcestershire they said, the only place in the Midlands for a great night out they said, top quality DJs they said sounds fabulous doesn't it, a magnificent masterplan to bring dance music to the pan pipe playing folk of Malvern. There was only one problem with the plan though...it was b******s. DSB
• The Lighthouse now called club 9, well i think u could say its an experience!

• I suppose you mean the 'Fighthouse', sorry never been there and never will.
• The lighthouse!! although every1 thinks its crap, it isnt THAT bad! if ur into drinkin, c ing loadsa ppl, and dancing to sum serious choons, then u wanna get down the lighthouse
• the lighthouse is usually a way of warning ships away from rocks in this case the name fits. the door policy is unless the manager likes the look of you then you might as well catch that taxi back to town or worcester.the music policy is dictated by a man who worships elvis and that says alot.
• the fighthouse oh sorry i meant lighthouse
• The Shi... Lighthouse. It's ok I guess, if you like boring house. Or crap cheese. Someone please start a hip-hop club.

• Many Pubs have little circuits of regulars
• The Great Malvern Club has the most diverse range of musical events and clientele in Malvern one week you will be listening to a bunch of hippies reciting poetry the next week you wil be wading through a "crew" of chemically induced beaus listening to techno. Look out for the owner he's usually pissed by noon. DSB

There's also the bandstand at the winter garderns if you wanna impovise...

• -The Fringe Festival used to be massive with year round events centred on the "Fringe Theatre" (youth centre). After a rather low patch the Fringe seems to be growing again. -"The Winter Gardens" (also known as the Elgar Hall or, by a credulous few "New Space.) Long ago major gigs used to happen here... There seems a possibility of this happening again. -Frogs Cafe, all sorts of things go on there.. - "The Spectater" listings mag (print and online) is good for Malvern area happenings. (http://www.spectater.demon.co.uk) -Lots of local music in a variety of pubs.

Cinemas

• Malvern cinima is crap. uncomfy seats screen to small go to worcester
• Malvern Cinema, still going stroing with it's 7th year of Titanic showings....
• Malvern Theatres show some pretty obscure films sometimes, which is really good becasue not all of the big chains show many foreign films etc.
• one screen in the same building as the theatre
• malvern theatres odeon vue
• One cinema with the worst seats ever
• The only good thing about Malvern cinemas is the girl who works there on a Saturday night, she drinks at Pedros sometimes damn she's fine.
• no,very very small,films on about 3weeks after put out in big cinemas,in no way compares to wrners in worcester-wow,amazing cinema
• winters!
• Malvern Cinema, full of old films, never up to date! mainly for grannies
• the ciema is so crap its behind time and shit
• Malvern theatres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• theres one cinema. plays re-runs of old shit everyone has seen already in Worcester. Currently on its 143rd week of Titanic...
• malvern cinema..shows harry potter for 3 months running...
• Malvern cin. is shit
• if you call one screen a cinema then yes
• malvern Cinema is great because of the circle. Better now it has been refurbished.
• only just
• It's ok, but you're better off going the 8 miles to Warner Village in Worcester. We get all the films ages after everyone else, the screen's too small and the sound system is poo.
• Malvern Cinema...hmm. If you missed Charlie Chaplin or Casablanca when they cam out then they're bound to be arriving soon.
• Not as bad as people say it is actually
• THE MALVERN THEATRE ITS WELL POSH
• Malvern Cinema is super but not as Cool or happening as the Warner Bros in Worcester, but then the Council is doing its best to kill all the business in Great Malvern.
• the wintergardens is good for films very modern. There is strikes the newish bowling alley which is really good.
• I think you mean cinema and why when there's a perfectly good Warners in Worcster
• Strikes is for getting pissed and nutting else
• remarkable that malvern has a better cinema venue than worcester
• malvern cinema will be getting ET soon until then we'll have to do with the sound of music
• Really rather lame. There's Strikes, the bowling alley, in Spring Lane. Which is ok.
• Malvern Theatres
• The new one in 'The Forum' (or whatever it's called now). Well it only ever shows one film at a time, they ran Star Wars:Episode 1 all summer and it's really small. Are you getting the picture yet?
• ODEAN CINEMA IN WORCESTER ITS.....OK BUT THEY ALWAYS TREAT YOU LIKE A BLADER
• It's poo. I work there. Which improves it a bit...
• Malvern Cinema is dreadful. All the films are far too old and they're on for too long...
• Malvern Cinema at the Theatres complex
• -Malvern Cinema @ The Winter Gardens Complex, Graham Road. Good that we still have a new screen in Malvern, but the seats are EXCRUCIATINGLY uncomfortable. I would rather travel to Worcester - or bring my own chair. -Malvern Film Club runs occasional screenings (open to all) at Malvern Hills College.
• When the winter gardens re-open the cinema is supposed to too, it's a one screen affair with out of date films

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
