The Lambeth Country Show is back. Just as it has done since 1974, this year’s 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.
It’s a new weekend and a brand new month. June is here which means the start of longer, sunnier days〔hopefully), alfresco fun and festival season. When it comes to outdoor parties, Brockwell Park is delivering this weekend with line-ups full of the crème de la crème of pop at Mighty Hoopla Festival.
It’s also a strong week for London’s galleries with some wry and impactful art shows hitting town. Immerse yourself in the power of music at ‘Reverb’, an ear-rattling show full of art exploring how sound shapes society, emotion and history. Or, take a look at Judy Chicago’s psychedelic, swirling paintings at the Serpentine and the gorgeously silly work of Beryl Cook and Tom of Finland in a duo show at Studio Voltaire.
Or, tickle your funny bone by booking tickets to the Apollo Theatre’s stage production of ‘Fawlty Towers’ and James Acaster’s new stand-up show ‘Hecklers Welcome’.
