Food & Drink Festival, sponsored by Hawkstone

Each year, the Royal Three Counties Show celebrates the finest produce from the three counties and beyond through artisan food and drink producers, delicious street food producers, celebrity cookery demos and much more!

There is covered seating for picnicking or enjoying food purchased onsite, free water refill stations throughout the showground and a bandstand with live music to listen to while you eat.

Food Producers and Street Food 

The Royal Three Counties Show is a foodie’s dream as local and artisan producers from Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, as well as across the UK, join us in the Indoor Food & Shopping Hall, in Severn Hall.

You’ll be able to shop for everything from handmade confectionary to award-winning aged gin, sauces and seasoning mixes and artisan cheese.  In 2025, Malvavisco Marshmallows, Canadeer venison jerky, Chickies Scotch Eggs, Brockleby’s Pies and Gower Dougnut Co, plus many more producers all served delicious treats to visitors.

Street food fans are spoilt for choice at Royal Three Counties Show with around 30 vendors attending each year.
