Malvern Editorial 23rd May, 2016 Updated: 20th Oct, 2016   0

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS Princess Anne is to formally open next month’s Royal Three Counties Show, it has been announced.

The annual three-day event will begin in true style when HRH Princess Royal, a patron of the Royal Three Counties Show, will declare the show open in an opening ceremony featuring The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery on Friday, June 17. She will then present the Three Counties Agricultural Society Long Service Awards.

Ken Nottage, chief executive of the Three Counties, said: “We are thrilled to welcome HRH Princess Royal to the showground once again. It is an immense privilege to have her continued support of the Royal Three Counties Show.

“Her involvement has greatly contributed to the show’s position as one of the country’s premier livestock events, alongside elevating the show to its Royal status, a title of which we are extremely proud.




“This is the first year for many years that HRH Princess Royal has been able to join us due to the fortunate timings of the Trooping of the Colour and we’re delighted.

“This year is to be a spectacular year for the Royal Three Counties Show and we cannot wait to share what is shaping up to be our best show yet.”


Offering the only opportunity to be seen outside of London in 2016, the Royal Horse Artillery will be a pinnacle moment of the ceremony as they dominate the Main Arena with their world-famous musical drive.

In the month of The Queen’s official 90th birthday, the Band of the Queen’s Division will also provide a live musical accompaniment to the displays.

The Royal Three Counties Show takes place from Friday, June 17 to Sunday, June 19 and tickets are now on sale.

Advanced adult tickets cost £18 and £16 for Three Counties members.

Family and childrens tickets are also available and can be purchased on the gate.
