Countryfile Magazine Area

The Countryfile Magazine Area was dedicated to those who enjoy the Great British countryside and the wildlife that inhabits it.

The area centred around our specialist Countryfile Magazine Stage hosting a great selection of BBC1's Countryfile presenters, at the 2011 show it included John Craven and Julia Bradbury.

These theatre sessions were free of charge.

The Countryfile Magazine Area played host to a variety of features designed to inform and educate, not only on the beauty of the UK 's wildlife, but also how we can appreciate and preserve it.
