Lambeth Country Show, 19-20 July

Lambeth Country Show returns to Brockwell Park on the weekend of 19-20 July, boasting its unique line-up that brings together the best of city and countryside.

The show, the largest of its kind in south-east England, combines the attractions of a traditional country show, such as prize winning vegetables, home made jams, falconry and sheep dog displays, with distinctly urban entertainment.

The non-stop fun will include the usual mix of performance stages, fairground rides, food stalls, horticultural shows, competitions, medieval jousting, craft stalls, home made cider, fudges and chutneys, farm animals, steam engines and much more, all with a south London flavour. Organised by Lambeth Council, and now in its 34th year, the event is free and attracts thousands visitors over the course of the weekend and is one of the best family days out London has to offer.

This year the show has a brand new feature called the Sensory Zone. This area caters for children and young people with special needs or disabilities. The Zone will have interative multi-sensory activities to keep the kids entertained.

Other attractions this year include headline music acts such as Aswad, local Brixton boys 'The Thirst', one of Britain's most exciting new bands, British soul supreme Omar, and roots-soul collective Thabani. Upcoming soul star Magda Sinit and reggae act Etchoo, featuring former Aswad guitarist Dee Griffiths, also feature prominently on the bill.

Local south London talent features heavily again this year with the South London Concert band, Lambeth Community Performing Arts, South London Jazz Orchestra, and Crystal Palace Brass Band just some of the performers on the Village Green Band Stand.

And the show also provides a showcase for some of south London's brightest young talent, with youth music and dance acts from across south London entertaining the crowds throughout the weekend.
