The Green Dragon is a friendly family-run pub at 126 Guarlford Road, in the countryside just east of the Malvern Hills, which can be admired from the large garden or from the comfort of the conservatory restaurant. Music is a long-standing fixture on the town's grassroots circuit: folk sessions run on Wednesday evenings and on the first Sunday evening of each month, with live music on Saturday nights. The food is all home-cooked on the premises and real ale is served. It is the sort of welcoming country local where players gather for an informal session midweek.

The Night
The Green Dragon in Malvern hosts a weekly Wednesday open mic — 'an open mic music night for all' — hosted by Debbie Parry and Andy Lyndsey. It's a welcoming, all-levels music night in a friendly local pub, the kind of room where beginners and seasoned players both feel at home. Bring your instrument and a few songs; it's a relaxed, supportive evening rather than a polished showcase.
