Johnny Vegas’ Yorkshire glamping site moves as comedian battles condition
Comedian Johnny Vegas will be moving his popular ‘Field of Dreams’ glamping site to a new location this year, after a hugely successful venture in North Yorkshire. The original glampsite, which was housed on a farm in Harrogate, was a sell-out success and people came from far and wide to camp there. Now, the site is moving to Melbourne Hall, a stately home and gardens in Derby after the Yorkshire site shut.
A post on Melbourne Hall’s website reads: “Johnny Vegas invites you to come and join us for a stay in one of the magical Field of Dreams vintage glamping vehicles here at Melbourne Hall.” Like the North Yorkshire site, there will be a number of vehicles to choose from – as well as food and drink onsite. Vehicles include ‘The Skoolie’ (an old American school bus), ‘Fire Truck’, ‘Patricia’ the bus and many more.

This comes as the Benidorm star recently announced that he had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Speaking to BBC Breakfast this morning, Johnny, 52, said that it was something that was “always kicked around as a notion”, but it was not until his agent suggested he get tested for it that he seriously considered the condition.

ADHD can present in adults with a variety of symptoms, including restlessness and difficulties with concentration. Johnny himself has said that his diagnosis has answered “a lot of questions about behavioural issues” that he has experienced. Johnny said: “It’s that sense of disorganisation and doing basic tasks… everybody has an element of it, it’s how strong your filter is, I think. When you don’t have a filter at all… very simple things become very time consuming.
“[I’ll say] ‘I’ll shift that cup’, and then you have 10 other ideas and you haven’t shifted that cup, and then three weeks later that cup’s still there and somebody’s like, ‘Why haven’t you shifted that’, and it’s become this monumental task and it’s built up. “It’s just, I suppose, how your brain organises itself, and I always knew I was disorganised… but (it) helps make sense of a lot of things at school. I’m only just on the verge of learning about it.”
