Families can explore Link Common and learn how the Malvern Hills and Commons are cared for at a free discovery event on Wednesday, 5 August 2026. Hosted by the Malvern Hills Trust, the session runs from 10:00 to 12:00 at Lower Cockshot Road car park, Link Common, Malvern, WR14 2UE.

No booking is required. Families can drop in during the two-hour session and follow the activities at their own pace rather than arriving for a fixed start. The event listing describes the morning as suitable for families but does not specify an age range.

How the Junior Ranger activity works

Children can pick up a free Junior Ranger Passport and collect stamps around the site. Completing the passport earns them an official Junior Ranger badge to take home.

Because the activity is self-led, families can decide how quickly they move between the stamp points and how long they spend exploring. The source does not provide a separate timetable for individual activities, so visitors should treat the published 10:00 to 12:00 period as the available event window rather than expect scheduled sessions.

The passport gives younger visitors a practical focus while introducing the wider purpose of the event: showing what goes into caring for the Hills and Commons and keeping the landscape safe, open and full of life.

Meet the rangers and see “David Mowie”

Malvern Hills rangers will be present to explain their work and help visitors learn about the wildlife and habitats found across the Hills. Families will also be able to see the Trust’s new robot mower, nicknamed “David Mowie”, in action.

Together, the ranger conversations, wildlife information and mower demonstration offer a closer look at both the everyday work and the technology involved in managing the landscape. Visitors can choose which parts to explore, consistent with the relaxed, drop-in format.

Before setting out for Link Common

The confirmed meeting point is Lower Cockshot Road car park on Link Common. Although the venue is a car park, the event information does not state whether spaces are reserved or provide additional transport or accessibility arrangements, so visitors needing those details should consult the organiser’s planning information before travelling.

Visit Worcestershire Events, the source of the listing, also notes that the Nags Head is nearby. It is described as a simple pub serving a British menu for families considering lunch after the event. The practical next step is otherwise straightforward: no registration is needed, and families can arrive at the Link Common meeting point at any time between 10:00 and 12:00.
