Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm is coming to Bicester Village as part of a packed programme of Christmas events, workshops and festive experiences.
The Oxfordshire shopping destination will host a Christmas Market with Diddly Squat Farm, featuring nine curated artisan traders alongside The Double Red Duke horsebox.
Diddly Squat Farm is run by former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds.
It has become a major visitor attraction following the success of his Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm.
Bicester Village has not confirmed exactly what Diddly Squat will be selling at its Christmas market, but visitors could potentially expect some of the farm-style produce and merchandise associated with the popular Cotswolds attraction.
Santa Claus visits, Christmas film screenings, workshops and seasonal activities are also lined up.
Santa Claus will visit on December 19, 20 and 21, when families will be able to enjoy Breakfast with Santa at Cecconi’s.
A new Santa’s Christmas Storytime experience will also be held for younger visitors, complete with hot chocolate, festive treats and a special gift.
Film fans will be able to settle down for a selection of Christmas favourites inside The Winter Snug.
Love Actually, Home Alone, Elf and The Holiday are among the films due to be screened.
There will be plenty happening elsewhere around Bicester Village, including falling snow, live music performances and a festive sleigh photo opportunity.

Those looking to make their own Christmas decorations can take part in a range of creative experiences, including wreath making, candle making, traditional block printing and children’s Christmas crafts.
Jo Malone London will host a wreath-making masterclass on November 25, with guests using pine, eucalyptus, botanicals and natural textures before finishing their creations with tartan ribbon.
Tickets cost £45 and include refreshments and a scented surprise, with the full ticket price redeemable against eligible purchases made on the day.
A second wreath-making workshop will take place in The Winter Snug at 11am on November 26, led by experts from Larkswold.
Guests will use fresh greenery and seasonal foliage to create a Christmas wreath, with tea, coffee and light refreshments included in the £50 ticket.
Both wreath-making sessions are limited to 30 guests and require advance booking. Visitors must be aged 10 or over, with children accompanied by an adult.
Ralph Lauren is also staging a festive takeover at the Village, including the new Ralph Lauren Lake House.
The attraction will feature exclusive products, curated Christmas collections and creative workshops, alongside personalisation services aimed at shoppers looking for Christmas gifts.
Families will also be able to capture a festive keepsake at a dedicated portrait studio.
Ralph’s Coffee will round off the takeover with a seasonal makeover and an exclusive festive menu.
