The Great British Farm-Fest is set to take place at Newbury Showground in Berkshire for its second annual event in 2027. Scheduled from May 29 to 31, the festival will combine traditional country fair attractions with contemporary music performances.
Jeremy Clarkson, who will be fronting the event, highlighted its unique fusion of these two concepts. The inaugural festival, held in Warwickshire, was a significant success, attracting more than 50,000 visitors across 300 acres.
This first event featured over 400 stalls, 12 arenas, performances by bands such as Blur and 10cc, and showcased hundreds of animals. Celebrities from Clarkson's Farm, including Kaleb Cooper and Charlie Ireland, also made appearances, underscoring the connection to farming life.
Organisers emphasized that the festival aims to spotlight "ordinary farmers" alongside famous personalities. Despite overall success, a small number of traders reportedly left the initial event early due to unrecovered costs.
