CLARKSON'S Farm star Kaleb Cooper will take to the Westland's stage next month as part of the Yeovil Literary Festival.

The much-loved farming contractor from Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, became a breakout star of the Prime Video smash hit series Clarkson’s Farm.

In his new book, It’s a Farming Thing, the Sunday Times bestselling author shares the "highs, lows and unexpected adventures of farming life".

Tickets to see Kaleb in Yeovil's Westlands at 6pm Thursday, October 24, are selling fast. They cost £25 and can be purchased online at Westlandsyeovil.co.uk/whats-on/all-shows/kaleb-cooper.

Kaleb believes he has "the best job in the world", and his "loveable, down-to-earth personality, deep passion for farming, and unique observations" have made him one of the "biggest names in farming today", Westlands' event listing states.

The farmer, who studied agriculture at Moreton Morrell College, is on a mission to support the next generation of farmers and has launched an agricultural bursary through the Royal Agricultural University. Kaleb has also released a charity single and music video, I Can’t Stand Sheep, to raise awareness of the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution's work.
