Mr Clarkson, who will be on site for all three days, will be bringing with him The Farmer's Dog, award-winning Hawkstone Brewery and festival-friendly Diddly Squat 51AVÊÓÆµShop.ÌýÌý

Festival energy

The event is backed by Farmers Guardian, the Royal Agricultural Society of England and the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs and organisers say it promises to ‘rekindle the spirit of the old Royal Show with a fresh, festival energy', combining the traditional attractions of a large country fair with the excitement and energy of a modern music festival.
