Pershore is a small market town and civil parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England, set on the banks of the River Avon in the fertile Vale of Evesham. The surrounding orchards and market gardens have long made fruit‑growing, particularly the locally celebrated Pershore plum, a defining part of the landscape and local economy.
The town is centred on the Norman‑founded Pershore Abbey, whose church and medieval streets host concerts, markets and community events, while timber‑framed and Georgian buildings add to its historic charm. There’s a strong horticultural and agricultural tradition, a lively programme of seasonal festivals and markets, and many residents commute to nearby Worcester or Evesham, with riverside walks and floodplain meadows popular with locals and visitors alike.
