Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop in Oxfordshire Announces Unexpected Closure and Extended Winter Hours
Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop, located in the scenic village of Chadlington, Oxfordshire, has made a notable closure announcement that has caught the attention of many fans. Known for being featured on the hit Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm, the shop, which opened in 2020, has become a beloved stop for tourists and fans of the popular TV personality. The former Top Gear host and his partner, Lisa Hogan, have made the farm a key part of their lives and the show, which explores Clarkson’s attempts at running the farm himself.
In an announcement made over the weekend, it was confirmed that the Diddly Squat Farm Shop would be closing its doors to visitors today (Monday, December 29), much to the surprise of many. The official Instagram account of Diddly Squat Farm Shop posted a photograph of the shop along with the statement: “We’re open today until 4:30pm. Closed tomorrow and open again on Tuesday, December 30, and Wednesday, December 31.”
This closure marks a departure from the usual winter routine at the farm shop, which typically shuts down for several months during the colder season. However, this time, due to overwhelming demand from visitors, Clarkson’s farm shop will remain open for customers throughout January and February of the upcoming year. A previous post on the shop’s Instagram earlier this month confirmed this decision, with the message: “Due to high demand, we’ve decided to keep the farm shop open in January and February.”
The decision has been met with overwhelming positivity from fans, many of whom took to the Instagram page to express their excitement. One enthusiastic follower commented, “This is great news!” while another shared, “That is great news, because I really wanna come and visit again, I’m not gonna get any chance in December unfortunately.” A third fan added, “That’s great news, as I want to bring my daughter for her birthday in February.”
The Diddly Squat Farm Shop has quickly become a popular tourist destination, and this unexpected change in schedule, extending the shop’s winter hours, will likely further solidify its place in Clarkson’s growing farm empire. Fans are clearly eager to take advantage of the opportunity to visit during the typically quieter winter months, proving that Clarkson’s farm continues to thrive amidst both local and international attention.
