Special Guests

We have some very exciting guests attending the festival. From adventures to authors, content creators to journalists, film makers to TV stars, we’ve got it all!

Richard Hammond

We’re chuffed to bits to have Richard Hammond joining us for Blue Tit’s Birthday Party Festival. A proper Land Rover enthusiast and founder of The Smallest Cog restoration business, Richard knows a thing or two about life under the bonnet.

Richard will be presenting Blue Tit the Land Rover with her new registration plate at her 40th Birthday Party!

Behind The Glass

YouTuber, Sam Fane, and his partner in crime, Tony Dennard will be brining their podcasting banter to the main ring to judge the Land Rover Show! Although their area of interest begins at 200bhp… I think we can show them that horsepower doesn't necessarily equal fun…Their differing opinions mean they rarely see eye to eye, yet that is precisely what makes their conversations so amusing. Over the years, the podcast, 'Behind the Glass' has built a strong and loyal global following, and has featured an impressive lineup of guests, including Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, entertainer Jordan Banjo, fellow YouTuber Shmee150, and, of course, meeee.

Izzy Hammond

Izzy is my friend, and she agreed to come to fill a slot on the stage.

But in all seriousness, you may know Izzy of Drive Tribe, her car content online, or if you're a super-fan, her F1 Substack. If all goes to plan mechanically, her beloved Land Rover, Wally Car, and she, will be gracing the stage of the festival with some automotive pearls of wisdom and fun.

Alex Bescoby

Alex Bescoby is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, author and presenter with a love of history, travel and storytelling. In 2019, Alex completed The Last Overland, crossing 23 countries in 111 days, driving 21,000km from Singapore to London.

He drove the route that “could not be made again today” in the originalSeries 1 “Oxford” that took on the challenge in 1955.Alex will be joining us for Blue Tit’s Birthday Party to tell us all about the epic adventure we are all so envious of!

Harriet Cowan

Farming royalty, Harriet Cowan is set to be joining for Blue Tit's Birthday Party. Having shot to stardom after appearing in Season 4 of Clarkson’s Farm, she’s quickly become a fan favourite thanks to her no-nonsense attitude and proper farming grit.

She may own a Toyota, but hopefully we can all convince her that Land Rovers fit far better with the farming aesthetic...especially for an occasion like this. Either way, expect plenty of laughs, muddy boots, and a touch of agricultural glamour as Harriet helps us celebrate in true rural style.

Tom Grey

He started making content in 2023 and mixes automotive culture with personal topics like mental health and everyday life.
