But just before that Mr Clarkson and Mr Cooper will headline a brand-new national celebration of Britain’s farmers, their craft and their way of life, at the historic home of the Royal Show, Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.
The Great British Farm-Fest will bring together farmers, food lovers, families and festival goers for three unforgettable days of live music, working displays, livestock, machinery and mouth-watering food.
Joining the duo are Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland, Adam Henson and Matt Tebbutt, alongside dozens of farmers, musicians, chefs and rural artisans from across the UK.
Beefy Boys, which has opened a branch in Oxford’s Westgate shopping centre, will also be appearing at the festival.
Co-founder Anthony ‘Murf’ Murphy recently joined the pair to be briefed on the upcoming festival where the Beefy Boys will serve their award-winning burgers.
“The whole Clarkson’s Farm team were great, everyone was very lovely and generous with their time,” Mr Murf told our sister paper the Hereford Times.
“We chatted burgers, BBQ, farming, his upcoming children’s book, and what life is like at Diddly Squat.
“He was a lovely bloke and we had a real good laugh with him on stage. ”

The emergency services attended the scene and closed the road,
National Highways said lanes two and three of the three-lane motorway were shut as a result while crews dealt with the incident, leading to delays of around 40 minutes.
Congestion was worsened by separate lane closures between Junctions 4 and 5 in both directions following damage to the central reservation from an earlier incident.
Traffic built up on approaches to the crash, with nearby areas including Stokenchurch and Lewknor also affected.
Images from traffic cameras showed long queues of vehicles and emergency workers at the scene throughout the afternoon.
AA Travel also reported that one lane was closed on the northbound carriageway between Handy Cross and Stokenchurch due to emergency repairs.
National Highways later confirmed that all southbound lanes between Junctions 6 and 5 had reopened and that the lane closures linked to the earlier incident were also being removed.
Despite the reopening, delays of around 40 minutes remained on the approach as traffic slowly returned to normal.
