Picturesque Market Town
Pershore Town is situated on the River Avon, approximately 10 miles from Worcester and 6 miles from Evesham. Pershore is an unspoiled Market Town, famed for its elegant Georgian architecture and magnificent Abbey. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and picturesque villages such as Cropthorne, Elmley, Wick and Defford and is a haven for cyclists and ramblers.
Pershore has many specialist shops, an undercover market and welcoming pubs and restaurants. It also has its own Number 8 Community Arts Centre with an exciting programme of events such as theatre, cinema and many classes and workshops.
Many of the buildings along Bridge Street and Broad Street are listed. Poets such as John Betjeman have been inspired by Pershore's beauty and its old-world charm is sure to entice you back time and time again.
