Jeremy Clarkson Leads Star-Studded Line-Up at Brand-New Great British Farm-Fest 2026
Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire is set to come alive next year as it plays host to one of the biggest new events in the UK’s rural calendar — The Great British Farm-Fest, a three-day extravaganza celebrating the best of British farming, food, live entertainment, and countryside culture.
Scheduled for May 22–24, 2026, this landmark event will unite farmers, families, food lovers, and festival-goers from across the nation for a weekend of fun, education, and celebration across more than 300 acres of countryside. Organizers promise a vibrant mix of traditional agricultural showcases and modern festival flair — from working displays and tractor parades to live music, artisan food, and hands-on rural experiences.
Clarkson’s Farm Stars Lead the Line-Up
Front and center of the festival will be the stars of Clarkson’s Farm — Jeremy Clarkson, Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, and Charlie Ireland — who are confirmed to “headline” the event. Jeremy, who will be in attendance throughout all three days, will bring along some of his best-loved ventures, including The Farmer’s Dog, Hawkstone Brewery, and his Diddly Squat Farm Shop, giving visitors a taste of life from his Cotswolds farm.
In addition to the Clarkson’s Farm cast, other well-known names from the British agricultural scene will make appearances, including Adam Henson, Matt Tebbutt, and event ambassadors Lizzie McLaughlin, Rebecca Wilson, Charlotte Ashley, and Bizza Walters. They’ll be joined by a host of farmers, chefs, musicians, and rural artisans showcasing their skills, products, and stories.
Rekindling the Spirit of the Royal Show
Backed by Farmers Guardian, the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs, the Great British Farm-Fest aims to “rekindle the spirit of the old Royal Show” — once held at the very same Stoneleigh Park — but with a fresh, festival-style energy.
Festival director Chris Hughes explained the inspiration behind the event:
“There has never been a more important time to celebrate our nation’s farmers — and never been a better moment for a great British festival that does just that. We want this to be a place where tradition meets fun, and where the entire country can come together to celebrate farming and food.”
A Feast of Fun and Farming
The festival grounds will feature eight show arenas packed with attractions, including livestock competitions, machinery demonstrations, tractor displays, working animals, and traditional rural crafts. Visitors can also explore the British Food Festival, offering a true field-to-fork experience with live cookery demos, tasting sessions, and regional produce.
When the sun sets, the celebration won’t stop. The evenings will come alive with the All-Star Tractor Parade, followed by headline performances in the Hawkstone Music Arena. Early confirmed acts include Alex James’ Britpop Classical and DJ Chris Moyles, with 20 more acts expected to be announced in the coming months.
Tickets and Event Details
Tickets will be available for day visitors, weekend campers, and special Farmer & Family Passes offering discounted rates for agricultural attendees.
The festival is being delivered by a team with an impressive pedigree, whose previous credits include The Game Fair, Pub in the Park, and CarFest — all renowned for blending high-quality entertainment with family-friendly experiences.
Pre-sale tickets for The Great British Farm-Fest go live on November 26, 2025, with full ticket sales and lineup details expected to follow soon after.
With a mix of countryside tradition, live music, and modern festival spirit, The Great British Farm-Fest promises to be a landmark event for Britain’s farming community — and a weekend to remember for everyone who loves good food, great company, and the open air.
