Congratulations to Hawkstone Farmers Choir on being crowned the winners of Britain’s Got Talent 2026.

This is a fantastic achievement for the choir made up of farmers and rural voices from across the UK, including Andy Owens and Will Rogers from our own farming community.

More than just an incredible musical journey, the choir has used its national platform to shine a light on an issue that touches so many people across agriculture and rural industries: mental health.

We are immensely proud to see the entire choir receive this well-deserved recognition. Thank you for representing farming communities with such passion, authenticity and heart.

Congratulations to every member of the Hawkstone Farmers Choir on this remarkable achievement.
