After a tumultuous year, Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Farm Shop is set to close its doors for two months. The news comes after the former Top Gear star, who opened the farm and shop in 2020, revealed that he had faced a "total disaster" in the lead-up to Christmas. The shop, located in Chadlington, has been a huge hit with fans since the release of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon.
The closure, which will take place in January and February of 2025, was announced on the shop's website. This means that the main shop will be inaccessible, but fans can still visit the pop-up shop at The Farmer's Dog, open from Wednesday to Sunday. Unfortunately, the reason for the extended closure remains a mystery, as the website offers no clues.
The last day of operation for Diddly Squat was on December 29, and it won't be open again until March 1, 2025. The farm shop has become a popular tourist destination since the success of Clarkson's Farm, with fans flocking to visit the charming shop.
Following the success of the farm shop, Clarkson decided to open another business venture - The Farmer's Dog, a pub located in Oxfordshire. However, just months after its opening, Clarkson expressed concerns about making a profit after spending £1 million on the pub. And in December, the TV star admitted that he had faced numerous challenges and mishaps in the lead-up to Christmas, saying he was "naïve".
In his column for The Times, Clarkson shared one particularly disastrous incident that occurred at the farm - one of his employees had called him to report an "accident" in one of the outside toilets, causing them to "retch" over the phone. The incident required a team of hazmat engineers and was a cost that Clarkson had not accounted for in his business plans.
But that's not all - theft has also become a problem for the pub, with glasses being stolen by customers and later sold on eBay. In fact, 104 glasses went missing just last Sunday, adding to the list of unexpected expenses for the business.
