Malvern Hills District Council is delighted to support CreativesConnect Malvern in promoting the Malvern Hills as a venue for visual artists today, as it was in Dame Laura Knights day. 

We look forward to seeing our beautiful area interpreted afresh in 2024. 

Our thanks to the 3 Counties Art History Group which generously donated to this project the balance of their funds when they disbanded in February 2024.

As a leader of providing arts in the West Midlands, who delivers 1800 live performances, film screenings and workshops to an annual audience of almost 300,000. From pre- and post-West End plays and musicals, to classical and popular music, cinema, talks, festivals, comedy and dance, Malvern Theatres offers something for everyone - including weekly participation classes for people of all ages and abilities.  

With affordable ticket schemes, such as the Standby Club for local people and discounted tickets for under 26-year-olds, as well as access performances (including touch tours, audio description, subtitles, and relaxed events), Malvern theatres welcomes everyone in our community. 

The 2000 seat arts complex, across 4 auditoria, is a proudly independent theatre, with only 1% of its running costs publicly funded.

The Dame Laura Knight Society was set up in 2008 to promote awareness and appreciation of the work of Laura and Harold Knight.

Dame Laura and her husband Harold spent long periods of time in Malvern for over 30 years after being introduced to the town by Sir Barry Jackson (founder of the Birmingham Rep and Malvern Drama Festival) and the hills were a source of inspiration for Laura's panoramic landscapes, such as Sundown and Harvest. 

The Society celebrates Laura's work through talks by nationally recognised speakers, visits to galleries, guided walks, social events, art themed holidays and regular newsletters.

Over time, the Society has collected an interesting archive: a unique collection of images, letters, photos, newspaper articles, artefacts, recordings, catalogues and books relating to the Knights. These are now housed at Worcester Art Gallery and can be accessed for research by appointment.
