The Hanbury Countryside Show on Saturday 6 July, celebrates rural life in wonderful Worcestershire at the height of British summer. It's a fun-filled day out for the entire family, with a whole host of attractions planned for 2024.

TV presenter and countryman, Jules Hudson, returns as a special guest this year. Known to many as the leading face of Escape to the Country, Jules also hosts This Week on The Farm with Helen Skelton and Today at the Great Yorkshire Show, both for Channel 5.
 
Topping the bill in the ETG Civil Engineering Main Arena in 2024 is the exhilarating, fast-paced Shetland Pony Grand National, raising money for the Bob Champion Cancer Trust. If you've never seen these plucky little ponies, carrying their pint-sized jockeys in rainbow silks, then you're in for a treat!

Also new for 2024 is the Tela Technology Sheep Shearing Competition - thrilling, edge of your seat entertainment for all ages. Come and watch the shearers shear their sheep in an exciting race against time.

Last year, award-winning Attwell Farm Park brought a menagerie of animals to the Show, and what a brilliant interactive experience it was. Back by popular demand this year, the mini version of the Farm Park is a chance to get up close to furry friends and creepy crawlies and learn about lots of different animals. 

The Hanbury Countryside Show is awash with cattle, sheep, pigs and goats, and the Grand Parade of Livestock is a magnificent spectacle of prize-winning farm animals adorned with colourful rosettes. Horses are an important part of the Show too, and as well as London International Horse Show qualifier classes and exciting show jumping competitions, check out the 'gentle giants' - the Shire horses - in The Midlands Heavy Horse Show.

Another beloved Main Arena parade is provided by the owners of the enormous and truly magnificent steam engines (sponsored by BTE Plant Sales), farm machinery, vintage vehicles and classic cars and bikes. Take a ringside seat and prepare to be impressed. 

The Fun Dog Show is back again too, so why not enter your four-legged friends?

Hanbury's Bandstand, kindly sponsored by Fews Marquees, is the place to rest awhile and enjoy a lovely programme of entertainment. 

This year’s line-up includes resident songstress, Helen Pearson, Laurel and Hardy Do Devon! tribute artists, Karen Carpenter tribute, Anne Marie Marlow, local choir The Ballard Singers, and SKAvengers - a high energy, live Ska and Reggae show featuring the tunes of Madness, The Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners, UB40, Bob Marley and more! 

Other show highlights include the Carter Jonas Talks Theatre, fine food and drink, a Gundog Scurry, dog agility, ferrets, alpacas, a funfair, toy tractors, archery, horticulture, floral art, cookery, crafts, farriery and other country skills demonstrations, among others. 

There are around 200 trade stands offering quality shopping and a great selection of fun things to do for children too, with have-a-go activities all set in acres of space. 

The Hanbury Countryside Show Society is ever thankful for support from the Community, the committees, sponsors, volunteers, landowners, exhibitors, traders, contractors and the local press, without whom the staging of the Show would be near impossible. The Show supports The Midlands Air Ambulance and RABI as its main charities, along with Hanbury C of E First School, South Bromsgrove High School, and the Lions Club.
