WHAT’S ON
Our meetings, events and activities
Members of the Wildlife Trust receive a Malvern Group Newsletter with their regular magazine keeping them up-to-date with what’s on. Our Indoor Meetings are held at 7.30pm at the Lyttelton Rooms, 6, Church St, Malvern WR14 2AY. Entrance fee: adults £3.00, children no charge, including refreshments. The fee is payable on the night at the door. Everyone is very welcome. The indoor meeting season runs from September to May and next season’s programme will be available soon. The programme for Autumn 25 is already available.
Our Outdoor Meetings comprise trips, wildlife walks and ambles and are held on a regular basis throughout the year. Trips and walks are usually arranged well in advance. They are publicised in the newsletter and at the monthly indoor meetings. Ambles are arranged at short notice and publicised by email. If you want to be notified of ambles and vacancies on our trips, please join our mailing list via the Contact Us page if you haven’t already done so.
The current programme of trips for 2025 is on the website. Most are fully booked but on the 1st May spaces were avilable on the day trip to Herefordshire Reserves (June 19th) and the trip to Orfordness (July 11th to 13th). The booking form is available.
Local walks
Walks are arranged to interesting local sites. Booking is essential because spaces are limited. To see if a space is available, please email Tim Lawrence at malverngroup@live.co.uk. Please put the word mlgamble in the subject. There is usually a voluntary collection on behalf of the WWT.
