Grow the Perfect Elgar 'Tache This Movember

The Elgar 'Tache Challenge encourages you to grow, groom and proudly wear a moustache inspired by Sir Edward Elgar's iconic look throughout November.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

As Worcestershire looks ahead to the 170th anniversary of Sir Edward Elgar's birth in 2027, we're inviting visitors to take part in a unique Movember challenge inspired by one of the county's most famous sons.

The Elgar 'Tache Challenge encourages you to grow, groom and proudly wear a moustache inspired by Sir Edward Elgar's iconic look throughout November.

Whether you're aiming for a classic handlebar, a perfectly trimmed gentleman's moustache or your own interpretation of the great composer's distinctive style, this is your chance to celebrate Elgar's legacy while embracing the spirit of Movember.

Will you take on the challenge?

Throughout November, grow your best Elgar-inspired moustache and share your progress with friends, family and fellow Elgar enthusiasts.

The challenge culminates on Sunday 29 November at The Firs- Elgar’s Birthplace.

Visitors sporting an Elgar-style moustache will enjoy:

• Free entry to The Firs

• Moustache trims and styling advice from a professional barber.

All visitors can take part in the spirit of the occasion and enjoy:

• Moustache-themed activities for all ages

• Delicious moustache-themed biscuits available to purchase from Little Al's Kitchen

Whether you're a seasoned moustache grower or attempting your first Movember masterpiece, we'd love to see your interpretation of the famous Elgar look.

Join us at The Firs and be part of the celebrations as Worcestershire begins the countdown to Elgar's 170th anniversary year.
