The Royal Three Counties Show, one of the UK’s largest celebrations of our glorious countryside and rural life, is set to take place at Three Counties Showground in Malvern from Friday 13 - Sunday 15 June 2025, and this year’s show promises a feast for all senses, with a packed programme of exciting entertainment, in addition to delicious food and drink, carefully curated countryside shopping and - of course - thousands of animals and lots of family fun!

Every year, the Royal Three Counties Show showcases some of the UK’s very best food and drink producers. The abundant three counties of Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire produce a significant amount of the UK’s annual harvest, and many of those artisanal producers and local food heroes will demonstrate the fruits of their labour at this year’s Show.

One of those local food heroes is Herefordshire’s very own award-winning chef, Anthony 'Murf' Murphy, one of four founders of the popular independent restaurant group, The Beefy Boys. Murf will host a new-look Food & Drink Theatre (a gastronomic highlight of the Royal Three Counties Show), sharing his world-class, award-winning burger recipe, offering tips to recreate your own version at home, as well as a BBQ competition for local chefs on Saturday 14 June, and a fun Burger School on Sunday 15 June. To celebrate the Show, Murf will has created ‘Three Counties Boy’, a brand-new burger developed in partnership with the Royal Three Counties Show, which fans can enjoy a first taste of at all Beefy Boys restaurants in the weeks leading up to the Show.

Murf will be joined on stage by Will Young, best known as Farmer Will and for his appearance on ITV2’s Love Island, who has captured the hearts of millions as a viral TikTok sensation, sharing the charm, humour and realities of life on his Buckinghamshire farm. TV presenter, author, smallholder and passionate traveller, Kate Humble, and star of Prime Video’s Clarkson’s Farm, young farmer and best-selling author, Kaleb Cooper, complete the Food & Drink Theatre line-up for 2025.

Another new feature at this year’s Royal Three Counties Show is a host of VIP food experiences. Relax with a Breakfast of Champions in the exclusive Members Lounge before the hustle and bustle of the show begins (£55 per person, Saturday and Sunday only). Treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience with an exclusive VIP two-course lunch in the prestigious Members Lounge. After enjoying a busy morning at the Show, relax with an afternoon tea of delicious cakes, scones and unlimited tea and coffee in the exclusive Members Lounge (Saturday 14 and Sunday 15, £79 per person). 

This year’s Royal Three Counties Show once again boasts a fantastic line-up of food and drink vendors. Enjoy the buzz of the Show while you tuck into delicious pizza from Gloucestershire’s Kitchen Garden Pizza, mouth-watering mac and cheese by Herefordshire’s Mac Daddies Gourmet Mac and Cheese, or fragrant Tibetan Street Food from Nawa Kitchen. You’ll find Greek gyros wraps, slow roasted Welsh black beef, soft shell crab, frozen yoghurt, farm-fresh ice cream and more across the 22 food stalls lining the showground.

And for the very best in countryside shopping, head to the Royal Parade - which is even bigger and more luxurious for 2025.
