Royal Three Counties Show

The award-winning Royal Three Counties Show, the UK’s premier agricultural and countryside living event – which was awarded ‘Event of the Year’ in 2024 by the National Association of Outdoor Events – is set to return to Three Counties Showground in Malvern from 13 – 15 June 2025, with a packed programme of new features, exciting entertainment, bags of family fun for all ages, oodles of local food and drink, and – as always – lots of animals!

The Royal Three Counties Show is renowned as one of the largest annual agricultural celebrations in the UK, and features a whopping 8,000 animals across the long weekend. Appearing at the show for the first time this year will be furry friends and their knowledgeable human companions from the award-winning Atwells Farm Park in Worcestershire, providing a new animal encounter and interactive learning area. Visitors of all ages can get up close and hands on with friendly farmyard animals and learn more about their lives and care. Another new feature at this year’s show is the Pig Village. This dedicated area will celebrate the British Pig Industry and offer engaging educational experiences for visitors including live displays, interactive breed showcases, and insights into the world of pig farming.

A brand-new Home and Heritage area will celebrate rural crafts, heritage preservation, alongside traditional and artisan skills across the three days of the Royal Three Counties Show.

Another exciting new feature at this year’s Royal Three Counties Show is Murf’s Burger School, hosted by Herefordshire’ s very own award-winning chef Anthony ‘Murf’ Murphy, one of four founders of the increasingly popular independent restaurant group, The Beefy Boys. Pitching up in a new-look food theatre, Murf will share his world-class, award-winning burger recipe that The Beefy Boys are so well-known for and give visitors top tips to recreate their own mouth-watering versions at home. As well as hosting a BBQ competition for local chefs on Saturday 14^th June, Murf will also run a fun parent and child Burger School on Sunday 15^th June. In addition, a special burger will be created in celebration of the Royal Three Counties Show and will feature on the menu at all four The Beefy Boys restaurants across May and June, and will be available for visitors to tuck into at the show.

This year’s Royal Three Counties Show will see a return of the Poultry Show for the first time in 6 years. Over 50 classes of poultry and waterfowl will be on display including classes for juniors. Alongside this will be an Egg Show and traders offering housing solutions and care equipment.

Countryside shopping is another big draw for visitors to the Royal Three Counties Show, and this year will include a brand-new Fairfax and Favor area, hosted in the luxurious Royal Parade. Browse the very latest in British luxury lifestyle fashion before relaxing with a glass of champagne and live music.

In addition to these new features, the Royal Three Counties Show will once again host some of the finest livestock from across the UK, a variety of equine events, including show jumping and 53 prestigious Horse of the Year Show qualifying classes, the high-octane STIHL Timbersports Arena, live entertainment in the Main arena, over 101 free family activities to enjoy over the long weekend, plus special guests including celebrity farmer and author, Kaleb Cooper, BBC Countryfile presenter, Adam Henson, author and farming ambassador, Farmer Will  and BBC Saturday Kitchen presenter Matt Tebbutt.
