Countrytastic 2026

Countrytastic 2026 held at Three Counties

We had an amazing time at Countrytastic 2026 held at Three Counties.

McCartneys was proud to help bring farming and the countryside to life for children at the Three Counties Showground. Children also had the opportunity to take part in a mock auction, experiencing the excitement of the sale ring and learning how it all works! Inspiring curiosity, big smiles, and a love for the countryside — it was fantastic to be part of such a special event.
