The three-day event kicked off on Friday (September 23) and has been welcoming people from across the region to take a look at giant vegetables, celebrity chefs in action and enjoy live music.

Mr Parma, a finalist on the show, drummed up a large crowd with his baking demonstration and shared tips and tricks along the way. 

One of the main attractions of the show is the ginormous vegetables - some of which have to be lifted into the show by forklift truck. 

Growers from across the country travel to Malvern to see if they have broken any records with their jumbo veg.

The CANA UK giant Vegetable Championship is held every year and regularly sees new world records being set and broken for the largest or heaviest fruit or veg. 

And this year, one of the pumpkins weighed a whopping 24 and a half stone with organisers using a forklift truck to put it on the scales.
