South London’s most-loved free family festival, the Lambeth Country Show, is back better than ever on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June in the heart of Brockwell Park. This two-day event will once again bring the best of the countryside to the city, celebrating the rich diversity of international and local talent, and traditions of Lambeth’s vibrant community.
Brought to South London by Lambeth Council, in partnership with Brockwell Live, the 2025 show promises something for everyone, from live music and dance to science, nature, art, food, and thrilling arena spectacles.

Cllr Donatus Anyanwu, Cabinet Member for Stronger Communities, said: “We are delighted to be holding the free Lambeth Country Show again this year because it’s a true celebration of our borough’s incredible diversity, creativity and community spirit.
“The Lambeth Country Show is London’s biggest and best community festival, and the programme for this year’s event looks incredible. The country show is hugely valued by local people because it’s such a great celebration of our borough, it builds community spirit and most importantly is an opportunity to have a great time.”
In the show-stopping Main Arena, visitors will find Les Amis d’Onno Equine’s stunt team performing daring horseback stunts, choreographed sword fights, and theatrical storytelling. Or take a trip back to yesteryear with the magnificent Shire Horses Through The Ages and catch the educational and always humorous, CJ’s Birds of Prey show. And it just wouldn’t be a Country Show without a Best in Show; cheer on the contenders of over 100 sheep across 25 breeds.

While Sunday marks the annual Roots Day, featuring reggae icons Aswad and Johnny Osbourne alongside a vibrant mix of musical talent.
