The Vale of Evesham is often referred to as the fruit basket of England, due to its rich, fertile farmlands. The town of Evesham is bound by a loop of the River Avon, and features several interesting old buildings: Abbot Lichfield’s Bell Tower stands at 110 ft, and the Almonary Museum & Heritage Centre is a good source of local information.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
