After being cancelled due to the pandemic in 2020, the Royal Three Counties show is returning to Malvern in 2022 to celebrate its centenary.

Promising country pursuits, family fun and alfresco entertainment, the Royal Three Counties Show is returning to the Three Counties Showground in summer 2022.

Celebrating its 100th anniversary, the event is set to take place from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 June 2022 in nearby Malvern, offering over 150 events and activities across the weekend, including a brand-new food and drink festival.

Highlights include the Red Devils Freefall Team parachuting into the arena each day; the Bolddog Lings Motorcross Stunt Team performing incredible tricks; one of the country’s biggest livestock competitions; plus, the opportunity for little ones to meet rabbits, alpacas, pigs and sheep.

Budding engineers will love exploring vintage machinery and seeing thrilling pole climbing demonstrations; horse lovers can marvel at spectacular show jumping and carriage driving competitions; while visitors can eat and drink their way around the new food and drink festival, with international street food vendors, a cider show, chef’s theatre and daily children’s cookery workshops on offer, too.

Jane Edwards, shows manager at Three Counties Showground, said: ‘We are delighted that the Royal Three Counties Show is back and bigger and better for 2022. It’s an extra special year for the show as we celebrate 100 years of the three counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire coming together to stage this amazing celebration of the best in farming, food, and family-fun.

‘With over 150 different events and activities running across the three days, this fun-filled long weekend event will feature a new Food and Drink Festival, a memory-making selfie trail; two arenas with non-stop entertainment, exciting outdoor activities to get involved in, over 6000 animals to meet and some state-of-the-art tractor and farm machinery demonstrations.’
