The Royal Three Counties Show 2013 - 14th 15th and 16th June 2013
The long-running Three Counties Show at Malvern in Worcestershire, will now become the Royal Three Counties Show, a thrilling accolade for organiser, the Three Counties Agricultural Society.
The Three Counties Show has been a favourite with the Royal family since the early days on its permanent site at Malvern, with HM The Queen Mother visiting the very first one at Malvern in 1958, and HRH The Princess Royal acting as the Society’s President in 1981.
Since then, the Society has welcomed a string of Royal visitors, the most recent being Their Royal Highnesses The Earl and Countess of Wessex (2001), Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall (2007) and HRH The Duke of Gloucester (President 2011).
Held at the Malvern Showground for more than 50 years, the annual show brings together the finest that Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire have to offer – with a packed schedule of displays, activities and entertainment to please the entire family.
Discover the best of farming, food and rural pursuits this June, at the Three Counties Show near Malvern.
