Countryfile fans have descended on Oxfordshire’s spectacular Blenheim Palace to celebrate all things nature.
Running across four days, Countryfile Live will see visitors take part in a range of outdoor pursuits and meet the stars of the popular BBC show – all the while hoping the weather holds out.
Here’s a look at some highlights as the festival got under way:
