Jeremy Clarkson Announces Farm-Fest Event With Tickets Now Available — How Much Will It Cost to Experience Diddly Squat Farm in Person?
Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm-Fest: Dates, Prices, Camping & Everything You Need to Know About the 2026 Event
Jeremy Clarkson is trading muddy fields for music fields—at least for one weekend. The Clarkson’s Farm presenter is set to headline The Great British Farm-Fest, a brand-new three-day festival celebrating the spirit, culture, and humor of British farming. Held at NAEC Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire from 22nd to 24th May 2026, the event promises a full fusion of agriculture, live entertainment, and countryside chaos—exactly what fans would expect from Clarkson and his crew.
Billed as a cross between a traditional country fair and a modern music festival, Farm-Fest stretches across a massive 300-acre site, offering everything from livestock shows and machinery displays to late-night DJ sets and singalong arena acts. The weekend will feature a stacked lineup of musical performers, dozens of interactive zones, celebrity appearances, and special events curated specifically for farmers, farming families, and fans of Clarkson’s hit Prime Video series.
⭐ Clarkson’s Farm Takes Centre Stage
Alongside Jeremy Clarkson, fans can look forward to seeing several familiar faces from the series, including:
-
Kaleb Cooper – the breakout farming star who’ll likely draw some of the weekend’s loudest cheers
-
Lisa Hogan – running a pop-up “Piddly Diddly” shop inspired by the real Diddly Squat Farm Shop
-
‘Cheerful’ Charlie Ireland – expected to bring the business-brain perspective
-
Adam Henson – the beloved Countryfile presenter
The daytime programming leans heavily into authentic rural life. Attendees will find livestock rings, agricultural demonstrations, and heavy machinery showcases. But when the sun goes down, the festival shifts tone completely, transforming the 10,000-capacity Hawkstone Music Arena into a full-scale “farming party,” with live performances kicking off each evening at 6 p.m.
🎵 Music Line-Up: Three Nights, Three Different Vibes

A Farm Lab will also be set up to highlight the future of agriculture, with hands-on exhibits exploring new farming technology, sustainability solutions, and innovations designed to support the next generation of growers.
🎪 Ticket Prices & Early Bird Discounts

🏕 Camping, Glamping & Dog-Friendly Features
The event is designed to be family-friendly, and—importantly for rural attendees—dog-friendly as well. Well-behaved dogs may attend with the purchase of a special Dog Pass.
Camping options include:
-
Standard tent pitches
-
A Caravan & Campervan Permit available for £250 as an add-on
-
A glamping area currently under development, with prices and details to be announced soon
The spacious camping grounds sit alongside essential festival amenities, including showers, rest areas, and late-night food stalls. With Stoneleigh’s large open layout, organisers are promising a comfortable camping experience rather than the tightly packed fields associated with many major music festivals.
🌾 A Festival Built for Farmers—And Anyone Who Loves the Countryside
The Great British Farm-Fest isn’t just another summer festival; it’s a full-scale tribute to rural Britain. From giant machinery to livestock competitions, from educational exhibits to high-energy concerts, the event blends the fun of Clarkson’s Farm with the tradition of classic agricultural shows.
For fans of the series, it’s a rare chance to see the cast together outside the show. For farmers, it’s a celebration of their work. And for families, it’s shaping up to be one of the most unique long-weekend events of 2026.
Whether you’re coming for the tractors, the beer, the countryside culture, or Sophie Ellis-Bextor belting out “Murder on the Dancefloor,” Farm-Fest is set to deliver a weekend unlike any other.
