This year, Malvern Autumn Show turns 30 years old. Located at Three Counties Showground, Malvern, there’s so much for all ages to enjoy. There's a wide range of family fun, delicious food and drink to devour - and the Great Malvern Cake Off is set to return after a successful debut at last year’s show.

Taking place from Friday 26 - Sunday 28 September 2025, Malvern Autumn Show is the perfect autumnal family day out. 

A heartwarming haven for animal lovers, the World of Animals invites visitors to meet a delightful array of creatures - from farmyard favourites including alpacas, pygmy goats and miniature horses to exotic companions. Children can enjoy hands-on experiences, exciting animal displays, and even learn how to train a dinosaur in a brand-new interactive feature! 

Dino enthusiasts will be keen to experience a fun-filled theatrical Dinosaur Show new for 2025. Full of slapstick mischief, educational entertainment and lots of magical moments - the show is fun for all ages and will teach children and adults alike how to train their own dinosaurs with the help of some rather sneaky, cheeky dinosaurs! Dino Walkabouts will give visitors the chance to walk with the dinosaurs, take a selfie, and maybe even give them a big Dino hug if they’re brave enough! 

Attwell Farm Park in Worcestershire will also be joining the fun this year, bringing visitors an animal encounter and interactive learning area. Visitors of all ages will have the opportunity to get up close to farm animals and creepy crawlies, while learning all about how to care for the animals. 

The extremely popular Exotic Animals Area will return to this year’s show, offering the chance to learn more about fascinating and unusual creatures, including snakes and spiders.

The World of Animals Arena will have an action-packed timetable, including Exmoor ponies musical ride, the Parade of Animals, and thrilling Top Dog performances including the Naylor agility challenge and Flyball.

Other family fun to enjoy includes the Vintage Fun Fair, Caving (weekend only), Willow Weaving, Traditional Carpentry, Circus Skills (weekend only), Hands on Arts and Crafts, Rosie’s Bookstore and Colouring Station, and Midlands Air Ambulance Helipod (Friday Only).

The choice of food and drink is bigger and better than ever at this year’s show with the usual mouth-watering street food on the green from the likes of Mac Daddies Gourmet Mac and Cheese, The Beefy Boys, and Mookies Indian Street Food (Punjabi Street Food), complete with a large seating area and live music to enjoy throughout each day whilst devouring the delicious food. 

There will also be a selection of indoor food markets to explore and purchase high quality local food, to either enjoy walking around or at home, including the Boffy Artisan Food Market and Great Taste Food & Drink Market.

All Things Drink, in collaboration with Piston Gin, is brand new for 2025 and will be the ultimate destination to sip, shop and discover. This is the place to relax with a handcrafted gin or cocktail while enjoying great music in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. Beefy Boys will be serving a famous ‘Hard Shake’ outside their restaurants for the very first time, a delicious tiramisu flavour will be available throughout the show using Piston’s Café Piston Coffee Tequila. Alongside the experience, Taste Worcestershire will host a curated selection of local vendors, offering take-home delights and drink-related treasures. From casual sippers to cocktail connoisseurs, there’s something here for every taste.

New for 2025 is the inaugural Three Counties International Perry Competition, dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of perry. This exciting event will be held at the Orchard and Hopyard Pavilion alongside the popular Commercial Apple & Pears Competition and Fruit Juice Competition. Visitors can look forward to a diverse selection of apples, pears and fruit juices, with opportunities to sample and learn from experienced producers. Including, renowned perry writer, Adam Wells, the resident perry maker at 99PINES and keeper of the Three Counties National Perry Collection. The Three Counties Cider & Perry Association will also be on hand to share their knowledge and expertise.

Those looking to top the day off with something sweet will be pleased to see the return of the Great Malvern Cake Off tent, hosted by ITV This Morning’s regular chef, Marcus Bean. Enjoy live baking demos, Q&A sessions, and race-against-the-clock bake-offs from previous Great British Bake Off stars!
