The Malvern Water Festival & Well Dressing 2025
03 May 2025 to 11 May 2025
All available dates: 03 May 2025 to 11 May 2025
The popular festival, which will be held from 3 – 11 May 2025, will see many wells, springs and spouts creatively decorated according to a selected theme. This year the wells will be decorated in the theme of Folklore and Fairytales. The theme is fitting as The Malverns has many connections to folklore, both modern and ancient, having inspired Lord of The Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia and one of the oldest pieces of writing in the English language Piers Ploughman.
The festival starts with dressing the wells on Friday, 2 May, judging takes place on Saturday, 3 May, and prize giving with rosettes and certificates on Bank Holiday Monday, 5 May, in Priory Park where family fun day also takes place.
