We visited the Three Counties Food & Drink Festival on Saturday 26 July 2025, and it did not disappoint! Set in the scenic surroundings of the Three Counties Showground in Malvern, this food-lovers’ paradise is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys great tastes, local produce, and a laid-back summer vibe.
First Impressions
From the moment we arrived, the event felt incredibly well organised. Entry was smooth, signage was clear, and there was plenty of space to walk around, even with a great turnout. The festival layout made it easy to meander from one food stall to another without feeling cramped – perfect for browsing, sampling, and discovering hidden culinary gems.
Super Dog-Friendly
One thing that stood out was how dog-friendly the whole event was. We saw countless happy pups trotting alongside their owners, and there were dog water stations thoughtfully placed throughout the site. If you’re bringing a four-legged friend, they’ll be just as welcome as the humans.
A Taste of the Action
We managed to catch one of the live celebrity cooking demonstrations, and it was a real highlight. The chef brought energy, insight, and a few brilliant tips that we’ll definitely be trying at home. With big screens, ample seating, and a buzzing crowd, it’s a great feature that’s included in the standard ticket price.
Go VIP for the Full Experience
If you fancy treating yourself, the VIP ticket is well worth it. For just a little extra, you get:
- A VIP goodie bag packed with samples and treats
- Meet-and-greet opportunities with celebrity chefs and guests
- Access to the exclusive VIP marquee with comfortable seating
- Front row parking right by the entrance – true VIP style
It’s a great way to elevate your day, especially if you’re planning to stay for a while and want a spot to relax between all the deliciousness.
What Else Is On?
Over 170 food and craft vendors fill the site with irresistible smells, unique products, and plenty of tasters. From artisan cheese and charcuterie to street food, gins, and handmade homeware, there’s something for everyone.
Families are well catered for too, with interactive kids’ cookery classes, circus skills, crafts, and live music to keep the atmosphere fun and festive.
