Nestling at the foot of the dramatic Malvern hills, Malvern Theatres is a major centre for the arts in the West Midlands. Home of the famous Malvern Festivals, founded by Bernard Shaw and Barry Jackson in 1929, the theatre has recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of a £6 million refurbishment.
Hailed both locally and nationally as a model of artistic and architectural excellence, Malvern Theatres boasts a diverse programme of drama, comedy, music and dance involving the biggest names. It comprises three auditoria: the 800-seat Festival Theatre, famous for its programme of top touring drama and musicals; the Forum Theatre, a flexible space used for concerts and dance, as well as a 400-seat cinema.
ArtGallery.co.uk now manages the artworks in the foyer, restaurant and bar areas and artists currently exhibiting are:
- The truly excellent figurative artist Charles Willmott
- Paula Lundy’s very contemporary work is unique – ideal for that stunning centerpiece in a modern room
- The beautiful, Japanese-inspired work of Mick Rafferty - Mick has an excellent academic pedigree and his work is very well received by our customers
- Mark Cawood is a very thoughtful artist and his work provokes us all to consider what we should be doing to protect the world around us
- The truly excellent still-life and lifestyle works of prize-winning artist Andrew McNeile Jones
- Nora Doherty, whose work has been recognized by the South West Royal academy will, from Sunday 14th June, be exhibiting with us at Malvern for the first time
