I visited Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop 90 minutes from Wales — I took one look and made an instant decision
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Clarkon's Farm breaks Amazon Prime Video's ratings records every time it's released. The current series (the fourth) is its most-watched to date, with an average of 4.4 million viewers per episode. This makes it comfortably Amazon Prime Video's biggest show of the year, with viewer numbers growing again since series three. There's a fifth series in the works, which is scheduled to premiere in 2026. In the ratings battle, the show is pretty much now just competing with itself — no other Amazon Prime Video show has come close in the last two or three years. It's not hard to see why it's so popular. It's funny, sad, charming and, of course, it's fronted by the man who made Top Gear and The Grand Tour such hugely popular shows for decades. But as well as knowing how to make a good TV programme (which presumably is even easier when one of the biggest and richest companies on the planet is backing you), Jeremy Clarkson's warmth, passion and a willingness to learn and admit mistakes is what really makes it special (as well as all the abuse he gets from his sidekick and new-found starlet Kaleb Cooper). He's surely raised significantly the profile of British farming and the relentless challenges they face — from the weather to the mind-boggling cost of tractors and the fact that the cost of fertiliser can leap by tens of thousands of pounds in one fell swoop but you can't just put the price of your potatoes up to cover it. It seems farmers appreciate the exposure too, with one reportedly quoted as saying that Clarkson has "done more for farmers in one series of Clarkson's Farm than Countryfile achieved in 30 years". I was late to the Clarkon's Farm party and am currently racing through all four series at a rate of around one a day. I love it, it's the highlight of my day. I visited Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, and two words summed it up perfectly. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, from wandering around the huge, packed beer garden with views over the Oxfordshire countryside, to the delicious Sunday roast and flawless service. (Image: Steffan Rhys) And I also wanted to see the Diddly Squat farm shop as it's such a central part of the series, from Clarkson's disputes with the local West Oxfordshire District Council, his attempts to sell cartons of nearly-gone-off nettle soup for £10 or his partner, Lisa Hogan, trying to sell clothes made in China despite rules that everything sold in the shop must have been made within 16 miles. One of the funniest moments of the series is when land agent Charlie Ireland spots marmalade for sale, does a double-take and stutters: "But we don't grow oranges!" The farm shop is around 12 miles north-east of The Farmer's Dog, just south of Chipping Norton. One thing that really seemed to annoy council officials and some neighbours in the earlier episodes of the show was the huge number of people visiting the shop, clogging up the surrounding roads and parking on grass verges. So I was expecting it to be busy — and, oh boy, was it busy. Arriving by car (though there is also a dedicated Diddly Squat bus stop outside), stewards in high-vis jackets directed us to a large nearby field where, despite the hundreds of cars already parked, we got a parking space easily (the traffic queues on the road were very short-lived too). Once parked, it was a short walk across the road to the farm shop, which is without question the most popular farm shop in the country. There seemed to be new, purpose-built pavements on either side of the road, which is a good idea on a previously-deserted country road on which thousands of people now descend on a daily basis. There were already hundreds of people milling around, waiting patiently to get a selfie near the shop sign, queuing for a Hawkstone beer or food from the resident food van, or sitting on one of the many wooden picnic benches. But when I saw the queue for the farm shop (which is adorably small and way smaller than I was expecting) I immediately decided that I would not be joining it. It was huge and I think I overheard someone say they had been waiting an hour already. I would have loved to have seen in person all the prodcuts on sale — fortunately, you can buy loads of them at the large shop next to The Farmer's Dog with barely any queue at all and I came away from there with some Bee Juice honey (£12) and a crate of Hawkstone lager (£28 for 12 bottles). And you can read what my colleague thought of the food from the farm shop here. Just like the pub, it felt like everyone was thrilled to be there and I came away thinking fondly of the phenomenon Jeremy Clarkson and his team have created in this peaceful part of the country. I may not have set foot in the shop itself, but I'm still very glad I stopped by. What can you buy in Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop? As well as its fresh produce, the food from the on-site food van and Hawkstone beers, here's a selection of goods you can buy at the farm shop.

Dua Lipa review — playing it safe at sold-out Wembley
Playing her largest ever headline concert at the first of two back-to-back hometown mega-shows, Dua Lipa strutted through a two-hour maximalist spectacular of costume changes, confetti blizzards and weapons-grade pyrotechnics as 90,000 screaming fans packed into a sold-out Wembley Stadium. This show boasted more sequins than stars in the Milky Way, a glittery catwalk parade of precisely engineered corsets, and the hardest working hair in showbusiness. Just enough glamazon razzle-dazzle, in fact, to elevate Lipa's oddly anodyne music, which remained in generic dance-pop mode for most of the evening. Plenty of killer outfits, too few killer tunes. Falling a year after the 29-year-old British-Albanian diva topped Glastonbury's main stage, these Wembley performances mark the British launch of Lipa's year-long Radical Optimism world tour, which kicked off in Australia last November. Divided into four acts, the set was sprinkled with tracks from the 2024 chart-topping album of the same name, which in fairness sounded more sparkly and dynamic than their studio versions, especially the opening stomper Training Season and the warmly melodic Falling Forever. In Taylor Swift fashion, Lipa has been punctuating this tour with bespoke cover versions that change every night, including a few guest duets featuring the original artists themselves. Having previously tackled classic crowd-pleasers by AC/DC, Kylie, Daft Punk and more, she called on Jay Kay of Jamiroquai for her Wembley debut. Now grey of stubble but still reliably goofy of headgear, Kay shared vocals on his vintage 1996 funk-pop hit Virtual Insanity. Anyone under the age of 40, which was most of the audience, appeared slightly baffled but cheered politely anyway. For a mainstream star with multiple global chart-toppers, three Grammy awards and billions in streaming sales, Lipa has an impressively rich cultural hinterland. Alongside the usual catalogue of luxury brand endorsements and charitable causes she also hosts a respected podcast interviewing authors, politicians, business leaders and fellow stars. She is commendably outspoken on politics, even contentious issues such as Israel and Palestine. Patti Smith recently endorsed Lipa as a feminist trailblazer, which is both surreal and sweet. The pity is that very little of this extra-curricular depth filtered through to her carefully polished stage persona in Wembley. Instead, Lipa peppered the set with bland boy-meets-girl lyrics, beaming selfies with fans and obligatory humble expressions of gratitude to the audience for making her teenage pop-star dreams come true. Which was charmingly soppy but, for such an obviously bright and engaged artist, dull to an almost calculated degree. After a dazzling, gravity-defying interlude on an elevated podium stage ringed by fire, Lipa galvanised herself for the finale with a disco-tastic medley of stronger tracks including her breakthrough hit New Rules, her Grammy-winning Barbie soundtrack contribution Dance the Night, and her almost-anthemic recent smash Houdini. In high-energy performance terms, she gave us everything. But in the confessional, funny, emotionally vulnerable terms that make good pop stars truly great, she gave us almost nothing. Businesslike to the last note, with an almost Tom Cruise-level of steely professionalism, the sense she left behind was a laser-focused star who knows how to work a room brilliantly, even when it's the biggest room in Britain.★★★☆☆Dua Lipa plays Wembley Stadium on Saturday, June 21, and Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 24 and 25.
