IT'S green fingers to the fore this weekend as around 60,000 visitors make their way to the Three Counties Showground for Malvern Autumn Show.

A seasonal mix of fruit, flowers, animals and family entertainment, the two day event over Saturday and Sunday always draws crowds eager for end of summer bargains from the 650 tradestands.

Celebrities such as chef James Martin and cook and broadcaster Sarah Raven will be appearing in the cookery theatre and there will be lots of competitions for the best and biggest vegetables.

"The Autumn Show is the last of our three major events on the showground," said Three Counties Agricultural Society press officer Sharon Gilbert, "and people who come always say they like its relaxed style. There's a real end of term' flavour."

As well as the competition classes, there are displays of vintage and classic cars, motorcycles, caravans and machinery, a country pursuits area, pottery workshops, fine food and wine and a host of family orientated attractions.
