TRAVELLERS are camped out on the Three Counties Showground after arriving on Tuesday night.
The large group is reported to be on a field after showing up between 10.15pm and 10.30pm.
The presence is the latest in three unauthorised camps around Worcestershire this week.
A local source said: “The group arrived in a convoy after breaking in through a side gate close to the main entrance and driving onto the north field.
“There around 12 vans and cars on the field, with the vans spread out around the site.
“They are due to leave tomorrow, whether that’s by prior agreement or a writ is unclear.”
