Pershore is an electoral ward centred on a historic market town in Wychavon, Worcestershire, England, tucked into the floodplain of the River Avon. The area has a strong horticultural and agricultural character - orchards and market gardening are prominent - and the town’s rail link on the Cotswold Line makes it a practical commuter base for nearby Worcester while also drawing day visitors for riverside walks and independent shops.
Historically the settlement is best known for Pershore Abbey and its medieval streets, and the local community remains lively with music, arts and food events, including celebrations of the town’s plum-growing heritage. Educational and horticultural provision around Pershore College, together with a mix of small businesses and tourism, give the ward a balanced, village-meets-market-town feel.
