VOLUNTEERS are being sought to ensure the Upton Tourist Information and Heritage Centre can continue its service.

The centre has regular staff but also needs additional volunteers a few hours each week, particularly on the weekends, with full training to be provided.

Simon Smith, Economic Development Manager at Malvern Hills District Council, said “We recently upgraded Upton Tourist Information and Heritage Centre in the iconic Pepperpot.

"It is open throughout the year to welcome visitors to the town and provide a wealth of information on the areas attractions, events, accommodation and its fascinating history. The centre has regular staff but also needs additional volunteers to support opening the centre a few hours each week. We are particularly keen to find volunteers who would be available to support opening on a Saturday and Sunday.”

Those interested should call the centre on 01684 594200, or email upton-info@visitthemalverns.org
