THE future of KELVIN FLETCHER hit Channel 4 show is revealed after one series.
Matt’s festive family favourite – KELVIN FLETCHER: Christmas Travels With Mum and Dad was recently back on our screens and fans adored it.
The show followed the FLETCHER as they left their beloved Durham Dales to sample the best Christmas offerings from neighbouring counties.
Now, Channel 4 have confirmed that the Countryfile presenter will return to our screens with a second series of Our Dream Farm with KELVIN FLETCHER in 2025.
The exciting new series follows The National Trust as it searches for a new tenant of a 600-acre farm in the spectacular Eryri, (formerly Snowdonia), North Wales.
The documentary-style series follows seven shortlisted applicants who have been brought together to get to know the farm where they hope to live.
Each week, the candidates are monitored by The National Trust as they complete real world farming tasks as they try to prove that they should be chosen to take on the tenancy of the farm.
The candidates must consider what it means to run the farm and will be judged on their ability to maximise all of the opportunities the farm has to offer.
These will include environmental sustainability, farming innovation and tourism.
However, candidates will be eliminated one by one until just two are left, and invited to attend a final meeting with the National Trust.
Only the winner will be offered the 15-year tenancy of the farm set deep in the heart of rural Eryri.
KELVIN FLETCHER said: “I am delighted we’re back for a second series, shedding light on the tenant farming world and the challenges our farming community faces in not only producing food but also in looking after our environment.

“It’s an incredible farm and I hope viewers will indulge in the breathtaking landscapes and enjoy learning about Welsh hill farming traditions, culture and techniques.”
Deborah Dunnett, who commissioned the series for Channel 4 said: “Big Circus have made a beautiful series that will really change the life of one Farmer as they take on the management of this glorious tenancy.
“We are thrilled to have worked in partnership with the National Trust to share the culture, language, history and heritage of this working Welsh farm deep in the Eryri National Park.”
Giles Hunt from The National Trust said: “The National Trust were delighted to work with Big Circus and Channel 4 to have made another series of Our Dream Farm.
