We are deeply sorry to announce that today’s Dog Show at the Pershore Plum Festival had to be cancelled.

This decision was entirely due to circumstances out of our control. Unfortunately, the independent event organiser did not turn up today, and our festival team was completely unaware of this until the scheduled start time.

We know how much effort goes into grooming, dressing up, and preparing your wonderful dogs for this event. We share your immense disappointment and are truly devastated to let down our community, visitors, and four-legged friends.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as our volunteers navigate this situation.

Please enjoy the rest of the festival, and thank you for supporting Pershore Plum Festival.

📣 Keeping little ones safe at the Pershore Plum Festival! 💜

Heading to the festival with children? Pop into the Family Hub on Abbey Park on Sunday or Monday and pick up a free wristband. Parents and carers can write their contact details on the band, so if a child gets separated from you, we can quickly help reunite you. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The Family Hub is also the Lost Children’s Point, so please make sure your children know where to go if they become separated from you.

📍 You can find the Family Hub in the Fun Zone on Abbey Park.

💜 The Family Hub is a place to Rest, Refresh & Recharge — and help us keep our youngest festival visitors safe!
