We know Evesham is a place where people roll up their sleeves and make things happen. Growing things is what we are famous for whether that’s growing Vale of Evesham Asparagus, growing events that attract 30,000 visitors to learn about the history of our area or growing multi-million-pound businesses on our technology park.

Evesham Place Board in partnership with Wychavon District Council launched the Evesham Ambassador programme at a breakfast meeting on the 24th May 2024 at Evesham Football Club. The event was an opportunity to hear more about the projects the place board have been working on, discuss the many positives of the town and reflected on its challenges. We were joined by some fantastic speakers on our inward investment discussion panel.

We want to continue to attract investment to the Vale of Evesham so the area can keep growing. This is why we commissioned Evesham Town Centre Prospectus to create a vision to work towards. It looks at the positioning of Evesham within Worcestershire and the West Midlands from a commercial perspective, suggests key sites for development and looks at the layout of the town to see how it could better support active travel. It showcases the key strengths and unique selling points of the town that can be built upon to encourage people to want to visit, live and work in Evesham.
Evesham Ambassador programme will connect together all of the people that want the Vale of Evesham to thrive. We need those people that are willing to make a commitment to use their existing platform to promote all of the positives of the area and inspire others to be a part of overcoming the challenges we all face.
