PICTURE SPECIAL - Crowds flock to see all creatures great and small at Three Counties Show

MORE THAN 90,000 visitors travelled to the Tree Counties Showground at the weekend, enjoying a packed programme of entertainment, local food and drink, family fun and lots of animals.

Recognised nationally as one of the largest livestock and equine shows in the UK, this year the show had a record number of livestock entries.

One of the highlights of the weekend included the daily Grand Parade of Livestock, in which hundreds of prize-winning animals were led around the main arena while commentators – including BBC Countryfile presenter and Cotswold Farm Park co-owner, Adam Henson – provide interesting information about each breed.

Attwell Farm Park also returned with their furry friends and creepy crawlies, providing exciting animal encounters and hands-on learning for visitors of all ages.

A selection of the top Pony Club teams from across the UK, all aged under 15 years, participated in exciting, fast-paced relay races involving props and obstacles, in the Prince Philip Cup Pony Club Mounted Games.

There were also vintage tractor parades, dog and pony comedy shows, sheepdog herding demos, falconry displays, heavy horse competitions and scurry driving displays.




During the evenings of Friday and Saturday, hot air balloons launched from the showground and floated into the air, set against the stunning backdrop of the glorious Malvern Hills.
