EASTNOR CASTLE
The dramatic Eastnor Castle,
surrounded by a beautiful deer park, arboretum and lake - is a
fascinating visitor attraction on our doorstep about 10 minutes drive
away and we recommend a visit while staying here. The Castle is also a
venue for weddings, private parties, corporate entertainment, team
building, product launches and location filming. As Walkers End is so
close we make a convenient base to stay for wedding or party guests etc.
Events are also held on the Deer Park at Eastnor, click here for a link to their programme.
MALVERN THEATRES
We are extremely fortunate to be on the doorstep for Malvern Theatres which
is one of the country's leading regional arts centres. 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. Walkers End is
only 5 minutes drive away, making it an ideal location whether visiting
or performing at the theatre. Click here to view their extensive programme.
WORCESTER CATHEDRAL
Worcester Cathedral is one of England's most stunning buildings, with royal tombs, medieval cloisters, an ancient crypt, Chapter House and magnificent Victorian stained glass.
The present Cathedral building was begun in 1084. It is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. King John's tomb, Prince Arthur's chantry, the early 12th Century Chapter House and St. Wulfstan's crypt can all be seen within the Cathedral.
Worcester Cathedral is a superb venue for classical concerts that are held regularly. Every third year in August the Cathedral hosts the oldest music festival in Europe – the Three Choirs Festival, last held here in 2008.

CREATIVE BREAKS
Creative Breaks offer a range of creative courses from crafts to cooking, painting to personal development, all taking place in rural Herefordshire and neighbouring counties. Walkers End makes an inspiring place to stay during a course - the previous owner of the cottage was an artist who drew inspiration from the location, our loft bedroom was her working studio! We are very close to Eastnor Pottery.
