A popular country show is set to return with a new animal feature and a special guest.

Hanbury Countryside Show is taking place at Park Hall Farm in Redditch on Saturday, July 1.

Organisers say this year’s show is set to be the biggest yet, with an expected 14,000 people in attendance celebrating the best of British farming and rural life.

There will be competitions for sheep, cattle, horses, goats, pigs, dogs, horticulture, and farriery, as well as vintage vehicles.

A special new animal feature has also been added for this year’s show, in collaboration with Attwell Farm Park, and a special guest, television’s Jules Hudson, will be in attendance.

The show is this year celebrating 25 years of support for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

Last year, the event raised £1,000 for the charity, helping make three missions possible in the service’s southern critical care car, which covers Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire.

The event’s organisers have donated every year since 1998 and have raised more than £10,000 in total.

Richard Heath, sponsorship manager for Hanbury Countryside Show, said: “For farmers and horse owners, it almost goes without saying that the service Midlands Air Ambulance Charity provides is very often lifesaving.

“Indeed, several show committee members have required the service and it is a charity very close to the hearts of many. It is hoped that we can continue making donations to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity for another 25 years and beyond.”

Charley Burke, Worcestershire fundraising executive for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity said: “We recently celebrated our 32nd birthday and to think that for 25 of those years we have received the continuous support of the Hanbury Countryside Show is phenomenal.

“We do not receive any funding from the government for our daily missions, so Its thanks to community groups, organisations and events, like this one, that we are able to continue saving lives.”
