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

Best known as the longest-serving and most popular 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, is published in 2026, making this the perfect moment to see him live on stage.

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

His television credits include Escape to the Country, Countryfile, Dig 1940, Dive WW2 and How We Won the War (all BBC), On The Farm (Channel 5, alongside Helen Skelton and JB Gill), and Defenders of the Sky for the History Channel. He trained at RMA Sandhurst and holds an honorary fellowship from the University of Wales.
