A major new festival celebrating British farming, fronted by one of television's most recognisable personalities, is set to make its debut at a key Midlands venue. The Great British Farm-Fest, featuring Jeremy Clarkson and his fellow stars from the hit Amazon Prime series Clarkson's Farm, will take over Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire for three days of entertainment this May.
A Unique Blend of Farming and Festival Fun
Organisers promise an unprecedented event that aims to bring the farming community's story to a wider public audience through live entertainment. The festival represents a significant new addition to the region's cultural calendar, strategically located just fifty minutes from Birmingham and near Coventry, making it highly accessible for visitors across the West Midlands and beyond.
Star-Studded Line-Up Confirmed
The event will see Jeremy Clarkson joined on stage by his popular co-stars from Diddly Squat Farm, including the much-loved Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, and farm manager Charlie Ireland. They will be swapping their usual agricultural duties for festival hosting roles, providing a unique draw for fans of the television show.
This farming contingent will be supported by an impressive roster of musical talent. The confirmed line-up, as reported by local media, features pop icon Sophie Ellis-Bextor, electronic music duo Groove Armada, Blur's bassist and cheesemaker Alex James, broadcaster Sara Cox, and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson. The festival will utilise the purpose-built Hawkstone Music Arena within Stoneleigh Park.
Official Statements from Organisers
Speaking at the official launch event held at The Farmer's Dog pub, Jeremy Clarkson outlined his vision for the festival. "We are going to get the farming message out to the public live," he declared, adding with characteristic enthusiasm, "And have a great time doing it."
Festival Director Chris Hughes elaborated on the ambitious concept. "We want to showcase the incredible talent of the British farming industry in a way that's never been done before," he explained. "By pairing legendary farmers and TV favourites with world-class DJs and rock stars, we are delivering three days of unforgettable parties that put the heart of the countryside centre stage."
Event Details and Ticket Information
The Great British Farm-Fest is scheduled to run from Friday, May 22nd, through to Sunday, May 24th, 2026. It promises three nights of continuous entertainment, blending agricultural celebration with a major music festival atmosphere. Tickets for the inaugural event are now on general sale to the public, with anticipation building for what organisers hope will become an annual highlight.
The choice of Stoneleigh Park, a well-established exhibition and events centre in Warwickshire, provides a substantial and suitable venue capable of hosting large-scale public events. This development marks a significant expansion of Jeremy Clarkson's ventures beyond his Diddly Squat Farm shop and restaurant, further cementing his profile within both the agricultural and entertainment sectors.
