The Great British Farm-Fest will make its debut at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire from May 22-24, bringing together the Oxfordshire farmer alongside co-stars Mr Cooper, Lisa Hogan, and Charlie Ireland.

Countryfile’s Adam Henson and chef Matt Tebbutt will also appear at the inaugural event, which organisers have described as “Glastonbury meets the Royal Show.”

Promoting the event in a new video shared on social media this week, Mr Clarkson and Mr Cooper teased fans as to what was in store at the farm-themed event.

“We’ve got tractors, we’ve got farm animals, we’ve got The Farmer’s Dog pub, Diddly Squat shop – it’s farming, but live,” Mr Clarkson remarked.

However, Mr Cooper feigned displeasure at the musical offerings, especially as his favourite band had seemingly been omitted.

Keen for The Wurzels to be involved, Mr Cooper was met by a firm rejection from Mr Clarkson. “We are not having The Wurzels, they’re s***! Agricultural half-wits. You only like them because they mention farmyard equipment,” the 65-year-old hit back

“And cider,” Mr Cooper pointed out, but Mr Clarkson remained unmoved. “If Adele wrote a song called ‘Seed Drill’, you’d want Adele,” he quipped.

In the end, Mr Clarkson left his Diddly Squat Farm manager with an ultimatum. “You can either have The Wurzels or me,” Mr Clarkson teased, to which Mr Cooper emphatically replied: “The Wurzels it is then.”

Visitors to the festival during daylight hours can explore a sprawling 300-acre site featuring eight show arenas, livestock competitions, tractor demonstrations, and hands-on experiences connecting farm produce to the dining table.

Traditional country fair elements, including working animal displays, heritage crafts, and a full-scale British Food Festival, will occupy the daytime programme.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

Once evening arrives, the Hawkstone Music Arena will host five hours of entertainment nightly from 6pm, preceded by an All-Star Tractor Parade.

Mr Clarkson will be present throughout the weekend, bringing several of his business ventures to the festival grounds.

The Diddly Squat Farm Shop will appear as a pop-up called “The Piddly Diddly,” with Ms Hogan and her team offering produce, homeware, and clothing from the famous Oxfordshire outlet.

His Hawkstone Brewery and The Farmer’s Dog pub will also feature prominently at the event.

Festival director Chris Hughes said: “Jeremy has become a massive, positive driving force for British agriculture over the last few years. What he has done with his farm has really opened people’s eyes to the reality of the industry, highlighting just how incredibly hard the work is, but also how rewarding and vital it is to our country.”

Mr Hughes added: “There has never been a more important time to celebrate our nation’s farmers.”

Mr Clarkson’s latest announcement arrives at a time when he has been unable to continue production on the sixth series of his Amazon Prime programme due to weather conditions that have plagued the country.

Writing in his Sunday Times column, the presenter revealed that persistent rainfall since January has brought both filming and agricultural work at Diddly Squat to a standstill.

“There’s no filming happening on the farm at the moment,” he wrote. “Or farming. It hasn’t stopped raining since the beginning of the year, so I can’t plant anything, and I can’t do anything with my cows either because we are still locked down by TB.”

The tuberculosis restrictions have confined his cattle herd, adding to what has been a frustrating period for the Oxfordshire operation.

Series five is expected to arrive on Prime in May, with eight episodes already completed before the current disruption began.

The Great British Farm-Fest begins on May 22 before drawing to a close on May 24 at NAEC Stoneleigh, Warwickshire.
