It's a teeny weeny place, only four small rooms with exhibits. Normally two and a half quid to get in, which is more than acceptable as it's the only money it gets to survive. For some reason Saturday is freebie day. Nice geezer at reception, he knew his stuff and spoke enthusiastically about the contents of each room. Only three stars? Sorry, I've gone back to comparisons with the Ashmolean. Worth a visit if it's raining outside, which it was. The roof doesn't leak. · via Google [Sherry Seals](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107814842838266531662/reviews) ★★★★★ This was such a nice little excursion. I enjoyed learning all about the rich history of the hills of Malvern. Have your phone charged to take the audio tour. I’m so glad that I took the time to visit. The staff were all so wonderful. 🥰 · via Google [Graeme Sharp](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103406244442436388170/reviews) ★★★★★ Great little museum with a wide range of items to look at. It tells the local history very well. Was GBP2.50 to enter. Took around an hour or so, but I didn't read everything. · via Google [Shell Roca](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112668338625551409830/reviews) ★★★★★ Small museum but packed with fascinating information. Steep stairs to negotiate and is not wheelchair accessible. No toilet or cafe in museum but one just outside.. Staff there were brilliant and great to chat to. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4870f8ecba593b3f:0x494ec075476d5024!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Priory Gatehouse, 19 Abbey Road, Malvern, WR14 3ES [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=52.1105280%2C-2.3295246) **Category** Museums & Galleries **Guest rating** 4.4 / 5 (61 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 0-12 **Setting** Indoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Great Malvern [More attractions in Great Malvern](https://staycation.co.uk/great-malvern/attractions) ★ 4.4 (61 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.malvernmuseum.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01684 567811](tel:01684567811) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Great Malvern **Postcode** WR14 3ES **Plus Code** 9C4V4M6C+65 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4870f8ecba593b3f:0x494ec075476d5024!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4870f8ecba593b3f:0x494ec075476d5024!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4870f8ecba593b3f:0x494ec075476d5024!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Great Malvern Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
