Jeremy Clarkson to Headline New Farm Festival Near Coventry
A major new countryside festival backed by one of Britain’s most recognisable television figures is set to launch just outside Coventry later this year.
Jeremy Clarkson will front The Great British Farm-Fest, a three-day event combining live music, farming culture, and entertainment, staged at Stoneleigh Park in its inaugural year.
Clarkson’s Farm Stars Move From Fields to the Main Stage
The festival will feature several familiar faces from Clarkson’s Farm, including Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, and Charlie Ireland, who will swap tractors for the spotlight.
The event aims to blend modern British farming with live entertainment, bringing agricultural life to a wider audience in a festival setting.
Music and Media Stars Join the Line-Up
Running from 22 to 24 May, the Hawkstone Music Arena will host a diverse mix of performers and broadcasters from across music, radio, and television.
Confirmed names include Sophie Ellis‑Bextor, Groove Armada, Alex James, Sara Cox, and Ricky Wilson.
Organisers say the line-up reflects the festival’s ambition to mix countryside culture with mainstream entertainment.
“Getting the Farming Message Out Live”
Speaking at the festival’s launch at The Farmer’s Dog pub, Clarkson said the event would celebrate farming while offering a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
“We are going to get the farming message out to the public live,” he said. “And have a great time doing it.”
Clarkson has frequently used his public platform to highlight challenges facing British farmers, and organisers say the festival will reflect those themes alongside entertainment.
Organisers Promise a New Kind of Countryside Event
Festival Director Chris Hughes said the event aims to showcase farming in a way audiences have not seen before.
“We want to showcase the incredible talent of the British farming industry in a way that’s never been done before,” he said.
“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.”
