The launch of The Great British Farm-Fest at NAEC Stoneleigh

Get ready for the most exciting, largest, and most impactful event in farming history! NAEC Stoneleigh is proud to announce that it will host The Great British Farm-Fest 2026, taking place from 22 – 24 May 2026. Expecting to welcome 20,000 visitors daily, Farm-Fest aims to reinvent one of Britain’s most cherished farming festivals, deeply rooted in tradition at Stoneleigh Park.

This great British festival will feature everything you love—roaring tractors, rare breed animals, real ale, Sunday roasts, and live music. Adding to the excitement, legendary personalities like Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Cheerful Charlie, and more will take centre stage. Jeremy and his team will showcase the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, bringing a unique mix of authenticity and entertainment. Fans and farming enthusiasts will have a rare opportunity to experience farm life firsthand, infused with celebrity charm.

The All-Star Festival Parade will wind through the venue, leading visitors to the Hawkstone Music Arena for four hours of live bands, DJs, and special guest stars. The initial lineup includes Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Groove Armada DJ Set, The Shires, Chris Moyles, and more.

Lowri Croydon, Head of Commercial and Business Development at NAEC Stoneleigh, said: “Our venue has a rich history rooted in farming and agriculture, making it the perfect location for Farm-Fest. Working closely with the teams at Stable Events and Brand Events, what started as a simple idea has grown into something truly special. Seeing this project come to life is a proud and exciting milestone for everyone involved.”

Festival Director Chris Hughes added: “The Great British Farm-Fest will be a true celebration of British farming. It’s a place to honour our farmers’ hard work and dedication, while also providing a fun and educational experience for families. It’s a chance to share unforgettable moments, learn from our agricultural community, and enjoy a fantastic party.”

Festival tickets will go on sale at 10am on Wednesday, 26th November, with an exclusive 20% discount on all tickets including day, weekend, and camping options before the general sale begins at 10am on Thursday, 27th November. To join the herd, find out more at: https://farm-fest.org/
