This is set to be a fantastic and memorable summer family day out for all!

Here are just some of the things that we’re looking forward to seeing and doing as a family of 6 at BBC Countryfile Live:

Presenters live on stage – Anita, Matt, Ellie, John, Adam, Tom and Charlotte will all be taking to the stage to recall stories and share fascinating facts about one of the BBC’s best-loved TV series – and interview each other!

National Trust Theatre – Listen to the Countryfile presenters and other well known celebrity presenters discuss current topics such as their love of nature, environmental issues, farming, survival in the outdoors, scenes not screens, countryside travels and how to be an action packed presenter with Blue Peter’s Lindsay Russell.
