The Hawkstone Farmers' Choir
Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre
Fresh from making history as the first choir ever to win Britain’s Got Talent, The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir have announced a major UK headline tour for March and April 2027.
Following an extraordinary year that has taken them from muddy fields and tractor cabs to one of the biggest stages on British television, the group will now bring their powerful live show to theatres across the country, including a landmark performance at The London Palladium.
The tour will see them perform their own original music alongside the soaring, emotionally charged arrangements that have become their trademark.
It is the latest chapter in one of British music’s most remarkable recent stories.
The Hawkstone Farmers Choir began with a simple call-out from Jeremy Clarkson, looking for farmers to sing on a Hawkstone beer advert. More than 40 farmers and agricultural workers came together, many accustomed to spending their working lives alone in tractors, barns and fields, and something unexpected happened. What began as a group of strangers singing together became something far bigger.
Today, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir are using their collective voice to help bring those conversations into the open.
Under the musical direction of Simon Gwilliam and Lizzie Deane, the choir entered the 19th series of Britain’s Got Talent, delivering a hugely emotional audition performance of Elbow’s'One Day Like This'.
The performance moved both the audience and judges to tears before Amanda Holden hit her Golden Buzzer, sending the farmers directly through to the live semi-finals.
Then, in May 2026, they did something no choir had achieved before. Rather than returning with another cover, The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent final stage to perform their own original song, 'This Is Home'’, a song rooted in farming, belonging, community and the place they call home. The British public voted them the winners.
They are an increasingly powerful voice for rural Britain, celebrating the people, communities and landscapes at the heart of British farming while refusing toshy awayy from the realities facing the industry.
From the fields to the Palladium, this is a group of ordinary people at the centre of an extraordinary story.
