Lambeth Country Show, Summer festival in Brockwell Park, United Kingdom.
Description
The Lambeth Country Show is a two-day festival in Brockwell Park that merges farm experiences with urban activities. Visitors watch sheep shearing, falconry displays, and browse over 200 traders selling local goods.
History
The festival grew from the 1967 Brockwell Park Flower Show and was formally established by Lambeth Council in 1974 as a community event. Those early years shaped a tradition that has kept rural culture and community ties alive in an urban setting.
Culture
The Main Stage and Village Green feature different music styles, from folk and soul to reggae and funk, performed over the two days. Visitors move between established performers and local musicians who fill the grounds with varying sounds.
Practical
The festival runs from 1pm to 9pm both days and offers free entry to all visitors. Getting there is straightforward with trains to Herne Hill or North Dulwich, or several bus routes that serve the Brockwell Park grounds.
