FOOD fans will have plenty to get their teeth into at this year’s Malvern Autumn Show.
The bountiful weekend at the Three Counties Showground from September 29 and 30 will be bursting with harvest fun, horticultural know-how and family entertainment as well as being packed to the brim with tasty treats.
Diana Walton, head of shows at the Three Counties Showground, said: “The Malvern Autumn Show is all about championing the highlights of the season, from growing and harvesting, to cooking and spending time with family.
“We’re celebrating all the delights that our great British countryside offers.
“There is something for everyone to enjoy, from cookery demonstrations to indulgent afternoon teas, green hop beer and perry sampling and, not forgetting, the UK’s largest vegetables. This truly is a hearty family affair and we can’t wait to welcome visitors in to our beautiful showground to relax, eat and enjoy the best of the season.”
The brand-new Autumn Potager Theatre, hosted by award-winning food writer and grower, Mark Diacono, will welcome celebrity guests from the food and horticultural worlds to give daily demonstrations on growing and cooking.
Lively cookery demonstrations will be headed up by chef and presenter of BBC’s What to Eat Now, Valentine Warner, whilst gardening writer and Guardian columnist Alys Fowler will demonstrate how to make a variety of seasonal chutneys and pickles.
Christine Robinson, the former housekeeper of Chatsworth House, will also make an appearance, sharing her top tips for Christmas feasting, whilst also divulging secrets from the world of state banquets at the historic stately home that she carefully looked after during her 38 years of service.
For those wanting to get their hands on some of the region’s best local produce, there will be more than 50 food stands offering mouth-watering treats, as well as specialist delicacies such as poireau for the discerning shopper.
Adult tickets start from £17 in advance and children at £6.
