Malvern Autumn Show unveils its iconic Giant Red Apple with the UK’s largest garden centre operator

The UK’s largest harvest celebration, Malvern Autumn Show taking place from 27^th-29^th September at Three Counties Showground in association with Westons, has partnered with the South West’s flagship Dobbies store in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to launch the 2024 Giant Red Apple Tour, which runs until September across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire.

The UK’s biggest harvest celebration, the Malvern Autumn Show is well known forginormous fruit and vegetables, as it’s home to the internationally recognised CANNA UK Giant Vegetables Championship and to celebrate the Guiness World Recording breaking annual event, the high-profile event is touring a large-scale rosy red apple, artfully decorated with seasonal produce by Worcestershire artist Anna Best.

A selfie magnet for visitors to Dobbies Cirencester, the apple is an impressive sight at the entrance to the large store, measuring just over 8ft in height and weighing in at a whopping seventy-five kilos. It will undoubtedly provide local shoppers in Cirencester with lots of photo opportunities over the coming weeks, as a beacon for the country’s largest autumnal event.

Sam Field, General Manager at Dobbies Cirencester, commented: “We are proud to support Malvern Autumn Show, as one of the UK’s largest horticultural shows, it’s the perfect place here at Dobbies Cirencester, where we offer a huge array of plants, shrubs, trees and outdoor living accessories. The Giant Red Apple is a fantastic sight greeting everyone when they arrive at our store and we hope it gives people a little seasonal inspiration, as we begin to prepare for the coming season.”
