The Red Lion is a 17th-century pub tucked into the heart of Great Malvern with a genuinely vibrant grassroots music scene. There's a weekly open mic hosted by Lee Richardson — eight slots, a free drink on sign-up, so it's worth getting there early — alongside regular booked live music nights, sometimes outdoors under the pub's famous magnolia tree. Open fire in winter, sunny beer garden in summer, and dogs welcome throughout.
