The Lambeth Country Show kicked off this weekend with unexpected weather but they seemed to have luck on their side as they only had a few drops on Sunday. The show is held each year in Brockwell Park. The park is gigantic and they could not have picked a better place. The views from the top of the small “hill” is amazing, you can see The London Eye, The Gherkin and the Battersea Power Station. What a perfect setting for a weekend filled with activities?

Safety came first as you saw all the barriers and dedicated staff members walking around. The Metropolitan Police had their turf covered that is for sure. The people who organised this event really know their stuff and it was a pleasure to interact with the crowd. We walked into one of the main entrances and were overwhelmed by the amount of different food stalls on offer. It really represents Lambeth with the different cultures and areas within the borough.

There were countless of activities to explore, anything from face painting to advice on going back to work. The whole event was arranged to be free of charge. The only places you had to pay for were the fair and the food stalls, everything else gratis. The live music in all areas different made it interesting as you explored the different parts of the event.

The only part that disappointed me a bit was the fact that the food stalls and fair was a bit pricey for an area which was free of charge to enter. I would definitely go next year and take a picnic with to enjoy the event. Despite that, we still had a great time and would recommend it to anyone who was thinking about attending the show next year.
