Pershore pubs past and present will take centre stage at a new exhibition.

The town once boasted a total of 42 pubs, all of which are highlighted in an exhibition at Pershore's Heritage Centre located above the Town Hall.

Ahead of the exhibition's launch, at Easter, Richard Churchley will give a talk exploring the history of the pubs and their strange names.

The meeting will be held at Pershore Heritage and History Society's new venue, the conference room at Pershore Library.

Starting at 7pm on Thursday, April 6, the event is free for members and £2.50 for non-members.
