WHERE THE FECK IS FECKENHAM?
The following is a list (with links if available) of some of the things to be enjoyed in Feckenham....
The Rose & Crown, High Street. Tel.: 01527 892188 : Classic country pub with a warm Irish welcome from the McWalter family. Bar, lounge, separate restaurant and large flowery beer garden. Real ale, excellent British food, inglenook fireplace and spectacular flower displays both inside and out. Lively public bar full of local character(s). Worth a visit even without the prospect of a FeckenOdeon show!
The Lygon Arms, Alcester/Droitwich Road. Tel.: 01527 893495 : Another typical village pub - family owned and run and with the accent slanted a bit more towards food than at the Crown - the owners have recently added a luxurious dining conservatory. Excellent real ales and a pool table.
Church of St John the Baptist, The Square : Beautiful village church with a wealth of history involving the Culpepper family and mysterious secret passages. The eight bells ring out most Sundays (practice night is Tuesday - new & novice ringers welcome) and the churchyard is a green and leafy haven of peace.
Feckenham Cricket Club, Mill Lane : There are matches on most summer weekends and often on weekday evenings. With the idyllic backcloth of the church and the rolling Worcestershire countryside this has to be one of the nicest places to sleep though village cricket on a sunny afternoon - there's a bar too!
Barretts of Feckenham, Astwood Lane. Tel.: 01527 892935 : Everything for the outdoor life - boots, jackets, tents, camping stoves, crampons and ice axes. Also stocks everything your horse could possibly wish for. Take a look at their website: www.barrettsoutdoor.co.uk
Honeysuckle House, High Street: Luxurious and elegant Bed & Breakfast accomodation right next door to the FeckenOdeon - 01527 892140
Feckenham Wylde Moor Nature Reserve, Moors Lane : This is the place to see Ragged Robins, Spotted Orchids, Little Grebes and no less than sixteen species of dragonfly. Check www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk or call 0121 445 4310 for details.

.....and we almost forgot to mention Feckenham Village Hall: Home of the FeckenOdeon Cinema. When it's not being a cinema it's a multi-use building with two public halls - and it's a vital part of Feckenham's community. It houses the village Nursery School, Youth Club(s), Art Society, Badminton Club, Lunch Club, Flower Show, WI, Choirs, Theatre Groups, History Society, Bridge Club and Dance Club. Villagers hold parties, wedding receptions and concerts here. It's one of the busiest Village Halls in Worcestershire and has recently enjoyed a £180,000 refit courtesy of the National Lottery and other generous benefactors. It's available for public hire - all enquiries to The Booking Secretary CLICK HERE
