MALVERN AUTUMN SHOW PLAN YOUR DAY

Opening Times

The show is open from 9am to 6pm, with last admittance at 4pm each day.

Clothing

We advise wearing shoes that are suitable for wet ground conditions if it rains close to or during the event. Many of the paths are tarmac or hard standing but some areas of the showground could get slightly muddy (although we’ll do our best to reduce this). There are plenty of covered areas but also best to bring a coat and/or umbrella so you can make the most of your day out even if it’s raining.

Travel

This year, Malvern Autumn Show will trial a brand new ‘dog day’ on Sunday 29^th September, welcoming visitors who’d like to bring their well-behaved dogs on short, non-retractable leads along with them to enjoy the show.

Dogs left in vehicles: Dogs are never permitted to be left in vehicles at Three Counties Showground car parks. Anybody attending an event with a view to leaving their dog inside a vehicle unattended, will not be permitted entry. If a dog is found unattended in a vehicle during the event, the event organisers will attempt to contact the owners via Tannoy before removing the dog from the vehicle in the interest of animal welfare.

Dogs at the Showground: Dogs must be kept on a short, non-retractable lead at all times whilst at the Showground. Dogs found worrying animals or visitors will be asked to leave the event. Dogs are not permitted within indoor areas that serve food. Visitors are required to pick up their dogs’ waste and use the dog waste bins provided.

There will also be a dedicated Dog Show with fun, informal categories such as ‘waggiest tail’, ‘most obedient’, ‘softest coat’, ‘dog most like it’s owner’ that families can get involved in or cheer along their favourites. No pre-entry is required, simply stop by on Sunday to join in the four-legged fun.

Sunday dog entry tickets are available to book online in advance.

No other animals are allowed on site or in car parks throughout the duration of the show, unless authorised by show staff.
