Pershore Civic Centre is a municipal building in Pershore, a town in Worcestershire, in England.
Wychavon District Council was founded in 1974, and originally had offices in Droitwich, Evesham and at St Agatha's Hall in Pershore. The council wished to have a single headquarters, and so commissioned a new civic centre in Pershore. [1] [2] It was designed by the authority's chief architect, and was completed in 1991. [3] The building was upgraded in 2022, at a cost of £515,000, the work including replacing all the windows, and making the heating system more efficient. [4] Alan Brooks described the building as "rambling" and "neo-vernacular". [3]
