The Royal Three Counties Show, the largest livestock and equine show in England, will return to Three Counties Showground in Malvern this summer with a host of special guests and animal encounters lined-up.
The show, set for June 14 to 16, will see 35 showing rings in the farming village, featuring cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and alpacas, including rare and minority breeds, making it the biggest of its kind in the nation.
The show has now been taking place for more than a century and serves as a fertile ground for the national breed societies to promote their breeds.
This year, attendees can expect a new British Showjumping area and 54 prestigious Horse of the Year Show qualifiers.
Italian equestrian and three-time Olympian, Vittoria Panizzon, will offer masterclasses and course walks on Saturday.
There are also events planned around the Sheep Shearing Competitions, where 2,000 sheep are expected to be shorn across the three-day event.
Families can also look forward to the new Goat Show with a variety of breeds to watch compete and enjoy.
This show will also have talks and demonstrations on foot trimming.
The show also promises live entertainment, which includes the return of the Bolddog Lings freestyle motocross stunt display team.
BBC Countryfile presenters Matt Baker and John Craven, along with JB Gill and Matty Edgell will hold Q&A sessions and sign copies of their latest books.
JLS member JB Gill will be sharing his experience of farming on Sunday and will give a live reading of his book, ‘Ace and the Animal Heroes’.
A number of national breed society shows are set to take place, aiming to promote their breeds to a wider audience.
This year, the show will host 17 national shows across sheep, goats and cattle classes.
This year also marks the emergence of the new Racehorse to Riding Horse Parade, where racehorses-in-training and retired racehorses will parade.
Tickets for the show are priced at £23 for adults, while children under 16 can enter for free.
