FAMILY entertainment is big news at this year’s Malvern Autumn Show, with plenty to do for all ages.

The show, on Saturday and Sunday, celebrates the very best of the great British countryside and the autumn harvest. Celebrity guests will include Carol Klein, Joe Swift, Gyles Brandreth and Jonathan Moseley.

Diana Walton of the Three Counties Showground said: “We know how much families love to get into the spirit of Malvern Autumn Show, so whether young in years or young at heart we’ve made sure that there’s something for everyone.

“Families can have fun in the Vintage Village, meet furry and feathered friends in the

World of Animals, try their hand at new crafts or give mini-golf a go.

"We can’t wait to welcome visitors to our beautiful showground to enjoy the best family entertainment and fruits of the season.”

The Family Green, supported by Nationwide Building Society, is the place to get both

active and creative.

Activities include croquet, giant Jenga and pedal tractors for the energetically

minded, and there is also the chance to learn circus skills in the Family Tent, or compose an original poem with the Nationwide TV poets.

Bear Grylls fans should head to the new Really Rural stand to hone their den-building

and bushcraft skills.

In the Top Dogs Arena, visitors will be wowed by displays demonstrating the very best of canine agility.

More four-legged friends can also be found in the World of Animals, which features all sorts of animals from donkeys and Shetland ponies to Australian terriers and alpacas.

The new Creepy Crawly Critters display showcases some of the lesser known but no less important inhabitants of the three counties. Beekeepers and conservationists will be on hand with information and advice about how to support invertebrates as well as giving a bug’s eye view of the kind of creepy crawlies that share our lives.

Adult tickets start from £17 in advance and children at £6. For more information, please
