About the Show
Welcome to the Hanbury Countryside Show
The 78th annual Hanbury Countryside Show will be held on Saturday 5th July 2025, on the showground just off the B4090 at Hanbury, Hollowfields Road, B96 6RD.
ABOUT THE SHOW
The Hanbury Countryside Show (Saturday, 5th July 2025), is a celebration of rural life in Worcestershire at the height of summer. It’s a fun-filled, family-friendly day out in the beautiful British countryside.
Taking place on the Showground, just off the B4090 at Hollowfields Road, B96 6RD, this charming one-day event is packed with must-see attractions and have-a-go experiences to delight all ages and interests.
A DAY FULL OF EXCITEMENT
The Main Arena is a great place to start the day. Brimming with thrilling acts and displays all day long, it’s the beating heart of the Show.
Find yourself a ringside seat to watch the spectacular Grand Parade of magnificent, prize-winning pedigree cattle, sheep and pigs, or the region’s top equestrians competing in prestigious show jumping competitions.
Don’t miss the show-stopping procession of steam-powered monster machines, fine vintage tractors and sleek classic cars set against a backdrop of green grass and crisp white marquees.
ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS
At Hanbury Countryside Show, you’ll meet a whole host of farmyard animals, including many breeds of cow, sheep, pig, goat and chicken - some of them rare. Admire the beautiful horses taking part in the Horse Show and the mighty, but gentle giants of the heavy horse world. Don’t miss the Fun Dog Show or the interactive Attwell Farm Park feature where children and adults can get up close to a menagerie of furry friends.
A FAMILY EXPERIENCE
When it comes to entertainment, the Show caters for the whole family. Children under 12 come in for free, with countless things for them to see and do, not to mention plenty of space to burn off some energy.
Adult visitors can enjoy talks and demos and a bit of retail therapy, and a refreshing drink at the bar. The Show’s Bandstand boasts an impressive line-up of music and comedy, and there’s a fantastic selection of stands selling everything from crafts, home accessories, plants and jewellery, to agricultural machinery, country clothing and delicious artisan food and drink.
THE SHOWING LANDSCAPE
The Hanbury Countryside Show is one of a trio of traditional ‘post and rope’ style events taking place over four weekends in mid-summer. (See also http://www.inkberrowshow.co.uk and The Feckenham Horse Show.) This remarkable concentration of local shows in a small corner of Worcestershire, is a rarity in modern-day Britain, and bears testament to a strong community involvement and enduring support from day one.
As the lines between urban and rural living blur, and the landscape evolves, there’s an increasing appreciation for local food and a resurgence in conservation efforts. The Show has adapted to provide a platform for local businesses and organisations to showcase products and services, which supports the local and regional economy and makes the event more relevant in today’s world.
