Malvern Autumn Show: Thousands at Three Counties Showground

Around 75,000 people visited the 27th annual event this year, which was held at Three Counties Showground.

Nestled below the glorious Malvern Hills, the event is a seasonal showcase celebrating the 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 from this year's event was eight new Guinness World Records being broken at the CANNA UK Giant Vegetables Championship.

This year, the Garden Theatre was hosted by TV's Nicki Chapman and featured BBC Gardeners World presenters Arit Anderson and Adam Frost, who entertained the crowds across the weekend.

The Kitchen Theatre enjoyed talks from strictly star John Whaite, Bake Off's Juregn Krauss and Crystelle Pereria and demos of the UK award-winning best burger from Murf at The Beefy Boys.

The show also welcomed a Vintage Village, a Food Festival, Countryside Shopping and a World of Animals section.

The RHS Flower Show brought a riot of colour and fragrance with dazzling seasonal blooms as some of the UK's best nurseries and growers competed for recognition from the esteemed RHS judges.

Visitors could also sit back and soak up the atmosphere and live music with a locally produced cider in the Weston's Cider Garden, or if perry was more their thing, they could head to the Festival of Perry, where over 50 different types were available to sample.
