DID you think festivals were all music main stages? Well, you’d be wrong because a new one is launching in the UK next year – based on farming.
The event called The Great British Farm-Fest will arrive at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire for May 22-24, 2026.
It claims it will still maintain that festival vibe though with food trucks, activities, celebrity faces and you’ll probably still need your wellies.
It’s been described as combining the traditional attractions of a large country fair with the excitement and energy of a modern music festival.
While it does celebrate farmers, you don’t have to be one to go. I
Across three unforgettable days there will be live music, working displays, livestock, machinery and mouth-watering food.
As for those celebrity faces, headlining the weekend are the stars of Clarkson’s Farm – Jeremy Clarkson himself, Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland.
Farmer Adam Henson and British chef Matt Tebbutt will also make an appearance along with dozens of other farmers, musicians, and chefs from across the UK.
During the day, visitors can explore activities across the 300-acre country park.
There will be eight show arenas with livestock competitions, traditional skills, working animals, field-to-fork experiences and even a full-scale British Food Festival.

How to visit the Diddly Squat Farm Shop…
Diddly Squat Farm Shop and the Farmer’s Dog are both open to visitors. The exact location of the Farm Shop is 5-12 Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington, Chipping Norton, OX7 3PE.
Once there, fans will be able to experience some of the key locations featured on the Clarkson-fronted show.
While visiting the site, many will hope to catch a glimpse of the rising stars of the show, including fan favourite Kaleb Cooper, straight-man and farm management consultant Charlie Ireland, the humorous Gerald Cooper, plus farm shop front-woman and Jezza’s partner, Lisa Hogan.
The iconic shop has become a public attraction since it opened, with thousands flocking to it each year, much to the dislike of some of the community.
For visitors coming from outside the Cotswolds, the trip can take two hours from central London by car, or two and a half hours by public transport.
If fans are staying nearby there is the X9 bus from The Bell Hotel in Charlbury that will take them straight past the 1000 acres site and near the Farm Shop.
