Tenbury Countryside Show
Nestled in meadows adjacent to the Victorian spa town of Tenbury Wells, Tenbury Countryside Show attracts 1000’s of visitors every year. Our one-day show is amongst the U.K’s biggest; this said, in 2024, Tenbury Show still retains its rural charm and is deeply rooted in local Agricultural and Horticultural history.
A fantastic day out for visitors, competitors and exhibitors alike, Tenbury Show is home of the Hereford Cattle Society and the National Association of Ryeland Sheep, showcasing some of the country’s finest Heritage breeds. From birds of prey, ferrets, horses, livestock, pigs and rabbits…….. it’s a real A-Z for animal lovers (No zebra’s I’m afraid!)
