Premier Inn Evesham

Definitely. Evesham is a relaxed riverside town that makes a great stop for a countryside break. Set in the heart of the Vale of Evesham, it’s surrounded by fruit farms, rolling hills and scenic walks. Visitors often enjoy walking along the River Avon, exploring historic sites like the remains of the Abbey, or spending time in Abbey Park with its gardens, playground and splash pad for kids. Plus, it’s a great base if you’re looking to explore the Cotswolds, Broadway or nearby country villages.

Evesham is best known for its links to fruit growing and horticulture. The Vale of Evesham is one of the UK’s most important market gardening areas, producing apples, plums and asparagus. The town also has a key place in history – the Battle of Evesham in 1265 was one of the most significant battles of medieval England. You’ll also hear about the town’s association with the blossom season, celebrated with springtime trails and events throughout the region.

Yes, it is! Evesham has held markets since the Middle Ages, and today that tradition continues with regular outdoor markets. These include general markets, farmers’ markets and seasonal events selling local produce, artisan food, flowers, crafts and more. The market square is still a social hub, where locals and visitors alike gather, shop and stop for coffee or lunch nearby.

Evesham is most famous for two things: the Battle of Evesham and the Vale’s rich agricultural heritage. The battle in 1265 was a turning point in England’s political history, and you can still explore the battlefield site and visit The Almonry Museum to learn more. Evesham also has a long tradition of fruit farming – especially plums and apples – and it’s a key stop on the famous Blossom Trail, which draws visitors every spring.

Evesham’s town centre blends high street favourites with independent stores and specialist shops. You’ll find fashion, gifts, books, antiques and local produce, especially around Bridge Street and the Market Place. Just outside the town centre is The Valley, an outlet-style shopping park with a mix of well-known brands, home and garden stores, food stops and play areas for children. 

Yes, and it’s one of the town’s most loved features. The River Avon runs through Evesham, and there are scenic paths on both sides. A favourite route takes you through Abbey Park, past the historic Bell Tower and into flower-filled gardens that open up to the riverside. You can feed the ducks, enjoy a picnic or just stroll and watch boats drift by. There are also longer routes out into the Vale if you want to stretch your legs a bit more.

Loads! Evesham has something for all ages. History lovers can visit the Almonry Museum, explore the Abbey remains and learn about the town’s medieval roots. Families can enjoy Abbey Park, feed ducks, or take a boat ride on the River Avon. The Valley shopping park has a good mix of shops, food spots and play areas. During spring, the Blossom Trail is a real highlight, with walking and driving routes through fruit orchards in full bloom. There are also events like food festivals, summer carnivals, and seasonal markets throughout the year.

It did – and although the main building no longer stands, the remains are still impressive and well worth seeing. Evesham Abbey was once one of the largest and wealthiest abbeys in England, founded in the 8th century. Today, you can explore the surviving Bell Tower, some ruins and the beautiful Abbey Park that surrounds it. It’s a peaceful spot, ideal for a gentle walk or learning more about the town’s long history through plaques and museum displays nearby.
