AFTER three successful weekends, the Autumn in Malvern Festival continues this weekend with an illustrated talk on Gothic Building Styles in Malvern.

The talk, being given by Jacob Rock and Louisa Davidson is at the Coach House Theatre, Grange Road, on Sunday, October 9, at 3pm.

The speakers will take the audience in an illustrated journey of the various Gothic styles around the town, from Mediaeval to Regency to Victorian Revival. Tickets are £7 from Malvern Theatres box office.

Among the exhibitions currently on show as part of the festival is Saving a Century, showcasing examples of Victorian and Edwardian buildings and structures saved by Victorian Society campaigns, and also some that were lost.

Among the display of images is the arching roof of St Pancras Station, saved from demolition in the 1960s and now the London station for Eurostar.

Saving a Century is on at Malvern Library, Graham Road, until Monday, October 31.

And at Great Malvern Priory, a collection of rarely-seen Victorian paintings by local artists including Mary Brandling and Frank Patterson Yeates will be on show, also until October 31. The exhibition, curated by Malvern historian Brian Iles, is open daily from 10am to 4pm, except during services or concerts.

At the Original Artwork Store in Graham Road, popular local artist Antony Bridge has an exhibition of new work until the end of the month.

And at Elmslie House, Avenue Road, the newly-formed contemporary art group Elements, whose member are Dora Williams, John Barrett and Louise Pilditch, is showing its works until Thursday, October 13. Later in the month, Elmslie House will be the venue for an exhibition of some of the dramatic sculptures of Malvern artist Ed Elliott.

Tickets are still on sale for the two remaining main concerts of the 2016 festival, the Tippett String Quartet on Saturday, October 22, at Malvern College and Aldwyn Voices at Great Malvern Priory on Sunday, October 30. Again, they are available from Malvern Theatres.
