Cereals 2026 in Chipping Norton and I won’t lie, it felt a bit different this year. Beer branding and media personalities were out in force. The weather certainly kept things interesting, making for some pretty wild scenes on the vehicle front this morning. Thankfully, it dried up in spectacular fashion by the afternoon.

Cereals has always been more than just a crop show. It’s a place for growing businesses too, with plenty of interesting stands, new ideas, and enough big kit to keep everyone happy. And as always my favourite activity was the wildflower judging 😂

We came, we talked, and we made a few videos with kirkby_tyres and cfmotouk chatted to eternit.uk and tried to win fowlerandgilbert shed . We kept things fairly low-key, unlike williammurray_93 who absolutely smashed Britain’s Fittest Farmer.

Watching people flock around Jeremy Clarkson like seagulls around a chip provided some top tier people watching, and getting a glimpse behind the scenes of the machine that is Clarkson’s Farm was genuinely eye opening.

You will know I’ve made it when someone follows me around carrying a YETI cool box. Speaking of yetieurope , the stand was incredible, and rebeccawilsonfarming managed to add another few pieces to the collection.

Another year of catching up with good people, seeing what’s new in the industry, and being reminded why events like Cereals remain such an important fixture in the farming calendar. Back to Lincolnshire next year where the soil pit will look a bit different and hopefully we catch that perfect weather of 2025.
