Pershore is a compact market town in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Avon in the fertile Vale of Evesham. Its riverside setting and mix of medieval and timber‑framed buildings give the town a pleasantly historic feel, with pleasant riverside walks and a small, well‑used high street of independent shops and cafés.
The town is best known for Pershore Abbey, the impressive former monastic church at its heart, and for its strong horticultural traditions - notably the locally celebrated Pershore plum and a late‑summer plum festival. Agriculture, fruit growing and related businesses remain important to the local economy, while community events, concerts in the abbey and regular markets keep Pershore socially active and culturally engaged.
