aboutSectionText

Three Counties is a charity. Its charitable objectives are to promote Agriculture, Horticulture, Arboriculture, Apiculture, Rural Skills and Crafts and Conservation for the Public Benefit. Today we fulfil our objectives through staging our popular fundraising shows at our 90-acre showground at the foot of the Malvern Hills. Our four main annual shows are: Countrytastic: held the Thursday before Easter and aimed at children under 12. Countrytastic focuses on experiential learning activities around a farming and countryside related theme. This popular show features animals and their young, interactive workshops and demonstrations and performances that spark creativity and imagination. RHS Malvern Spring Festival: This four-day festival held in May encapsulates the essence of Spring, with an unmissable showcase of new horticultural talent and the latest gardening trends. Visitors are given the opportunity to explore award-winning show gardens, plus a whole host of thematic zones, theatres, immersive experiences and interactive demonstrations. Royal Three Counties Show: Held over three days in June, this is the largest agricultural show in the UK without government subsidy and the biggest livestock showcase in England. It provides a fantastic opportunity for farmers, growers and producers to show their animals and produce, and also serves as an enthralling educational event for the public. Malvern Autumn Show: This three-day show in September is known as the UK’s largest harvest festival and is dedicated to honouring the essence of autumn, bursting with harvest fun for all the family. We aim to ensure that every visitor can enjoy our wonderful shows to the full, in comfort and with ease. We are committed to offering a wide variety of facilities, services, and information to help you plan your visit and enjoy your day. Should you need further information or wish to provide feedback to help us improve, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
