An Audience with Jules Hudson

2026 marks thirty years in television for Jules Hudson, and there’s a lot to talk about.

Best known as the longest-serving presenter on the BBC’s multi-award-winning Escape to the Country, Jules has also been a Countryfile regular for over a decade, a field archaeologist, a Naval Reserve officer, a furniture maker, and now an author. His autobiography, Wild at Heart: My Journey to a Country Life, publishes this year, making this the perfect moment to see him live on stage.

Jules grew up meeting people from every walk of life in his mother’s B&B, and that warmth has always defined his broadcasting style. In conversation he ranges across television, archaeology, military history, country living, craft, and Britain’s landscape and heritage, all delivered with the good humour that’s made him a household name.

His credits include Escape to the Country, Countryfile, Dig 1940, Dive WW2 and How We Won the War (BBC), On The Farm (Channel 5) and Defenders of the Sky (History Channel).
