The Lambeth Country Show 2025

Organized by Lambeth Council in conjunction with Brockwell Live, Lambeth Country Show is one of the UK's largest free family festivals, attracting over 120,000 visitors each year. A perfect juxtaposition of urban and rural, it offers something for all ages while underlining the diversity and vibrancy of Lambeth.

A Tradition in Its Own
First held in 1974, the Lambeth Country Show has grown into a cherished fixture on London's social calendar. Besides a weekend of enjoyment, the festival espouses eco-friendly causes, builds community participation, and raises environmental consciousness.

Diverse Attractions for All
The show brings together over 200 traders and exhibitors, mingling global street food with local crafts, health and wellbeing stalls, and horticultural displays. If not all, the heritage of Lambeth can also be felt by the local charities and community groups present, a reflection of the dynamic and inclusive nature of Lambeth.

Traditional country show highlights include:

• Sheep shearing and owl displays
• Homegrown vegetable and flower competitions
• Horse jousting and stunt shows
• An on-site farm and Diggerland

Add to these the modern elements: exhibitions on science, space travel, and virtual reality. Other activities giving it its relevance and appeal are those centered around environmental sustainability.

Music Galore
The core of Lambeth Country Show is music. On the Village Green Stage, eclectic acts run the gamut from folk, soul, and funk to pop, steel orchestras, samba bands, and community choirs.

The Saturday Main Stage is a frenetic lineup of funk, soul, disco, and chart toppers. Sunday is "Roots Day," which features ska, dub, and reggae, with both local and international acts.

Unparalleled Event
It blends the attractiveness of a rural country fair with the truly urban vibrancy of south London, and the Lambeth Country Show continues to capture the hearts of audiences. From cultural diversity to cutting-edge science, this event has something for everyone, making it a high point in the year both for families and communities.

Whether it's browsing the craft stalls, listening to the live music, or simply soaking up the vibrant atmosphere, the Lambeth Country Show promises to be an unforgettable weekend for all who attend.
