To mark this extraordinary milestone, The Archers is stepping out of the studio and onto the stage for a very special national tour.
Hosted by comedian and superfan Angela Barnes and set at the beloved Ambridge Flower & Produce Show, this landmark event brings some of your favourite cast – Timothy Bentinck (David Archer), Charlotte Martin (Susan Carter), Ben Norris (Ben Archer) and Annabelle Dowler (Kirsty Miller) – into the spotlight with live performances, on-the-spot sound effects from Vanessa Nuttall and unforgettable moments from the BBC archives. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to test your knowledge in The Bull Pub Quiz, sing along to the famous theme tune, put your own questions to the cast and enjoy behind-the-scenes revelations that Lynda Snell herself would be proud to draw out.
And, in true Ambridge fashion, expect a little Flower & Produce Show chaos before the night is through. Warm, witty, and steeped in nostalgia, this unique tour celebrates the people, stories and unmistakable soundscape that have made The Archers a national treasure for generations. Experience Ambridge as you’ve never seen – or heard – it before!
