Friendliest event award for Lambeth Country Show

Such an accolade will not surprise regular visitors to the annual Brockwell Park extravaganza who already know that the event is not only friendly but a feast for all the senses!

We are very proud of the award and we’d like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all of the Country Show’s loyal supporters over the last 40 years. The Country Show’s unique mixture of the city and the countryside really wouldn’t be the same without your participation and generosity.

40th anniversary surprises

Make sure you keep your diary free on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July from 11am to 7pm for this year’s event. Alongside the 40th anniversary celebrations, there will also be some surprises as the show takes you through the 70s, 80s, 90s and noughties (all the decades of its existence).

Expect to be treated to a blend of top-quality performers on the music stages, sheep shearing in the farm zone, jousting in the main arena, flower and garden displays, puppet making classes, vegetable sculpture competitions and much more.

So that we can continue to offer such a well-loved, friendly event in the future we need your support. If you love the show, just as much as you love Lambeth then:
