With this week’s Cereals event expected to bring even more people to the area, the 66-year-old and his team have moved to warn fans about changes to parking on and around the site.

“If you’re planning on visiting Diddly this week, then please be aware of the parking situation,” said a statement on the farm shop’s official Instagram page.

“We’re hosting a trade event, so our normal car park is shut. The overflow car park is open, but it will get very muddy if (when) it rains.

Local residents have been warned to expect extra traffic on roads around Chipping Norton and Chadlington as visitors arrive for the multi-day event.
