Loved the gardens & the mongoose grave stone!! Lots of local history & artefacts. The building alone is worth the visit & the £4.50 entry fee lasts for a full year means you can visit as many times as you like! The guy on reception was a font of information too very interesting. You could see he was passionate about his job & such a good story teller. Well done Evesham Museum
2. Evesham Bell Tower

I wrote a review about the bell tower following its major make over from top to bottom and it looked great, however I was critical of the railings around the bottom which were rusty and bent and looked awful. Apparently they had run out of funds. But now that has been rectified and the railings have been sorted out and it looks really good. The Abbey Gardens through the archway set it off , well done to everyone. One very slight criticism is that pigeons are being allowed to nest in the archway thus leaving a horrible mess . It wouldn’t take much to resolve this problem.

4. The Regal Cinema
Overall Ratings

Offering far more than an ordinary cinema, our day time up-market coffee shop turns into a wine bar in the evening alongside our Circle and Auditorium Bars. Audiences have the choice to watch films sat at candlelit tables on the ground floor or to snuggle up in the double love seats, regular seats or one of our four Royal Boxes in the circle and enjoy refreshments from any of our bars, before, during and after the film... Films range from blockbusters to classics, family favourites to art house and independent. We have family films every weekend and extra family shows in the holidays, as well as parent and baby shows on Thursday mornings. On Tuesdays we host Silver Screen matinee shows and Big Breakfast screenings are the perfect start to the day. The Regal is a true community venue, and, in addition to films and live screenings from the Royal Opera House, we host a broad range of events live music and comedy, as well as other live performances.

Came to the Regal to see Jasper Carrott and had a brilliant time. We booked early and managed to get the love seats upstairs with a bottle of wine to boot! - I think all the shows were sold out. The show was excellent throughout and just as good as we remember Jasper from his TV heyday. All the staff were enthusiastic, friendly and approachable, which greatly added to the experience at this very special and engaging venue. We thought the food and drink were great value, especially when compared to the more well known cinema chains, with reasonable waiting time for drinks during the interval (although we would pre-order next time). We really love the Regal and will return at every opportunity.
5. St Lawrence's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
St Lawrence’s is full of activities for the whole family, taking you on a journey of historical discovery. Let your curiosity lead you to open boxes of treasures, wear a bishop’s mitre, peek around corners, try out the pulpit and summon ethereal music. Nestled in the heart of Evesham’s historic centre, St Lawrence’s Church is part of a triptych of stunning architectural buildings, alongside the parish church of All Saints and the great perpendicular bell tower of the abbey. The church - of Norman foundation but largely rebuilt in the 18th century - is imposing from the outside, displaying a great six-light window with elaborate tracery. Once you step inside the true extent of detailed craftwork is revealed. Coloured light reflects throughout the chancel from the breath-taking stained glass windows that dominate the east wall. Depicting the last supper and the resurrection, they were designed by some of the most celebrated stained glass artists of the last 150 years. Discover the intricately patterned fan vaulted ceiling of the 16th-century chapel of St Clement. This beautiful space has richly panelled arches and houses a simple and elegant 15th-century font. Tours available.

Located in town, near the Bell tower and Abbey park. This historical church is no longer used. It does have some amazingly beautiful stained glass windows.

9. War Memorial Evesham

Reviewed By sabatinitennis - London, United Kingdom
This ornate and huge war memorial overlooks the park and river below, so is well suited in a quiet part of town and close to the bell tower and two churches. There are a lot of makes on it which is a sobering thought to the amount of casualties in both wars. Worth a visit
