TENBURY'S historic Pump Rooms will be open to the public during the Apple Day celebrations on Saturday.

Admission is free, and visitors will be able to see the main assembly room and well tower.

Group chairman Chris Dell said: "There are lots of activities taking place in Tenbury on Apple Day, and it would have been tragic if visitors to the town had been denied the opportunity to look inside this unique, award-winning Victorian spa building.

"It is surely the apple of Tenbury's eye, so it clearly belongs in the apple celebrations."

The Pump Rooms will open for one hour, from 9.45am to 10.45am, and there will be a guided tour at 10am.

It will meet outside the building if the weather is dry and inside if it is raining. Guidebooks and postcards will also be on sale during the opening.
