Clarkson’s Farm surprise in latest Diddly Squat development

The shop in Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds is currently closed while work is being carried out.

Thousands of people have flocked to the shop, which champions local produce, since it opened just before lockdown in 2020.

But in an announcement over the weekend, the farm shop said it would be closing from Monday, March 16 to Tuesday, March 24.

It will reopen the next day and the show’s resident builder Alan Townsend is currently carrying out some work.

In an Instagram video by the farm shop, Mr Townsend said: “We’ve had a very busy day today, the team.

“We’re stripping out and revamping the shop. and we’ll have it for Wednesday, 25th.”

The post was captioned with: “Things are going to look a little different whilst we revamp but we’re still open.

“Everything will be back as you know it from the 25th… with a little surprise.”

In another update, Jeremy’s partner Lisa Hogan said: “We’ve taken everything out from the shop.

“It’s all happening here. We’ve basically changed the shop around… It’s exactly the same but very different.”

Diddly Squat Farm Shop was named best farm shop in the Cotswolds by the most recent Cotswolds Awards – an impressive title considering the rural region spans five counties and more than 800sqms.

The gong has brought the shop one step closer to proving the owner’s claim that it is “the best farm shop in the world”.

Committed to selling exclusively British food and products, the business has gone from strength to strength and continues to serve hundreds of customers in its shop and cafe.
