One of the UK’s biggest harvest season celebrations is set to return to the Three Counties Showground in September.
And for its 27th annual event, taking place September 22-24, the Malvern Autumn Show has unveiled a fresh new identity for 2023.
Nestled below the glorious Malvern Hills, the event is a seasonal showcase celebrating the very best of autumn, from giant fruits and vegetables to demos from celebrity chefs, artisan ciders and perries to locally produced food and drink.
A highlight is always the CANNA UK Giant Vegetables Championships, where competitors from across the country battle it out for a chance to win the coveted Guinness World Records title.
Each year new records are set with gigantic legumes and enormous fruits.
The RHS Flower Show will bring a riot of colour and fragrance with dazzling seasonal blooms, as some of the UK’s best nurseries and growers compete for recognition from the esteemed RHS judges.
The Family Green will host a range of entertainment and activities for all ages, especially in the World of Animals section where children can meet animals aplenty, including rabbits, cavies, pigs and exotic animals, and watch exciting animal displays in the Arena.
Sit back and soak up the atmosphere and live music with a refreshing, locally produced cider in the Weston’s Cider Garden, or if perry is more your thing, head to the Festival of Perry, where over 50 different types will be available to sample, including single varieties, blends and international perries.

Jane Edwards, Head of Shows at Three Counties Showground, said: “This year’s Malvern Autumn Show is back with a brand-new look and feel, celebrating one of the best times of the year.
“We’re delighted to share a packed programme of vibrant seasonal flowers, plants, expert horticulturalists and growers, outstanding local food and drink, plus lots of family fun.”
