Lambeth Country Show returns to Brockwell Park on the weekend of July 16 and 17, boasting a unique line-up that celebrates the very best of city and countryside.

Now in its 37th year and organised by Lambeth Council, the show has all the attractions of a traditional country fair, such as home grown vegetables, jams, chutneys, horticultural shows, sheep dog and owl displays, but with a distinctly urban South London vibe. 
In 2010, the show attracted more than 180,000 people, drawn to the truly eclectic mix of free entertainment and activities for all ages. 
This year sees the show split into nine zones, featuring music, art, theatre, sport and games, food, animals, horticulture and much more.

The Greenwich Fair- London for Free

Greenwich Fayre

Fri 24 – Sun 26 June FREE
Until 150 years ago, when it was closed down for being too unruly, the Greenwich Fair was the largest and most uproarious gathering of outdoor entertainment in Britain. Much loved by Charles Dickens, the high spirited activities included sideshows, dancing booths, travelling menageries and melodramas boasting 3 murders and a ghost in 25 minutes! 

This year a 21st century version of the Greenwich Fair returns as a “festival within a festival” with a huge programme of outdoor performing arts. As London’s first ever showcase of its kind, you can expect to experience the best of UK and international outdoor arts. Some performances will even take direct inspiration from the past: the Victorian enthusiasm for hill-rolling in Greenwich Park will be recalled in gravity-defying performances, alongside side-show installations, an outdoor aquarium, interactive entertainment, and life-sized Punch and Judy!
