Travel by car
Three Counties Showground is easily accessible and there is plenty of FREE parking at the showground.
You’ll find us about 10 miles from the M5 and M50 motorways. Just follow the brown signs from all main routes then the parking signs (on which you’ll find directions to the different car parks) as you approach the showground.
Please input the postcode if using Sat Nav (rather than just Three Counties Showground) then follow the parking signs (on which you’ll find directions to the different car parks) as you approach the showground. The Sat Nav will only take you to Yellow Gate which is for exhibitors only.
There will be six 7.2kw Type 2 charging points located inside the Gold Parking gate for the duration of the Malvern Autumn Show. These will be free to use, are available to use on a first-come, first-served basis and you won’t need to purchase Gold Parking to charge your car.
Travel by train
The closest train station to the showground is Great Malvern.
We run a free shuttle bus service from Great Malvern railway station to the Malvern Autumn Show.
The shuttle bus will start at 8.45am and the journey will take around fifteen minutes, depending on traffic conditions. From then on, the bus will shuttle back and forth and there is no fixed schedule. There are no pickup/drop off stops en-route.
The last bus from the showground, back to Great Malvern station, leaves at 6pm. We recommend you consider not waiting until the last bus, because it can be very crowded. The bus will drop off and pick up by our Red Gate (just off the B4208).
This service will still run in the event of rail company strike action. Check the National Rail website for information on industrial rail action, before you travel.
Parking
All parking is FREE unless you purchase Gold Parking. If you have bought Gold Parking, follow the Gold Parking signs on the temporary ‘AA’ signage as you get close to the showground.

The area is set aside for members until 11am, after which the general public are allowed to park there. Please print the pass you have been sent via email and have it displayed as you enter the car park, where you should see signs for Members Parking.

Free parking is widely available at the showground alongside accessible parking for visitors with access needs.
