Just as it has done since 1974, the Lambeth Country Show will bring countryside pursuits to Brockwell Park. Over its history, certain traditions have developed, like getting a glimpse of Vauxhall City Farm’s alpacas, downing a massive carton of Chucklehead’s super-strong cider and joining the long queue to see the pun-derful entrants in the vegetable sculpture competition. Look out for sheep-shearing, sheepdog and owl displays, an on-site mini farm and lots, lots more. Live music will be heard from two stages over the weekend, too.
Craft beer, catering from around the world, homemade cakes and other refreshments will be on sale, and – as ever – entry is free. More than 100,000 people typically descend on Lambeth for the show, so expect to be elbowing your way through the crowds.
