Visitors can expect record-breaking vegetables, celebrity gardeners and vintage charm as the Malvern Autumn Show prepares for its return this September.
One of the UK’s largest annual harvest celebrations, the Malvern Autumn Show, will be back at Three Counties Showground from Friday, September 26 to Sunday, September 28, 2025.
Among the major attractions is the return of the CANNA UK National Giant Vegetables Championship, where growers from across the country will compete for Guinness World Records titles. In 2024, 13 records were broken at the show.
The event will also feature more than 100 ‘Grow to Show’ classes in the Harvest Pavilion, showcasing seasonal produce including cut flowers, fruits and vegetables.
Organisers have confirmed BBC Gardeners’ World presenter Monty Don OBE as one of this year’s special guests. He will appear on the Garden Theatre stage on Saturday, alongside other horticultural personalities to be announced.
The RHS Flower Show is set to return, with top UK nurseries and growers competing for recognition from RHS judges. The Floral Marquee will be filled with plants and flowers available for purchase, and expert advice will be on offer.
The popular Great Malvern Cake Off tent is also making a comeback, with live baking demonstrations, Q&A sessions and competitions for aspiring bakers.
Families can enjoy a host of free activities in the Family Zone, including a ‘World of Animals’ experience and a new feature where children can learn how to ‘train a dinosaur’.
Vintage enthusiasts will find entertainment in the returning Vintage Village, which includes a tearoom, dance tent, live music, vintage attire and vehicles, plus a fairground.
Food and drink will be in abundance, with local vendors serving seasonal street food, and a selection of beverages available in the Westons Cider Garden.
A new weekend ticket option is available, providing access on Saturday and Sunday for £35 – a saving of £12 compared to individual day tickets. These must be purchased in advance online and do not include camping.
Sunday remains ‘dog day’, allowing visitors to bring well-behaved dogs, although advance booking is required for free dog tickets due to limited numbers.
Tickets start at £22 if booked in advance. Entry is free for children aged 16 and under. For more information or to book, visit: www.malvernautumn.co.uk
