Lambeth Country Show 2020 - 2021 (no shows)

[editor]

Lambeth is inviting musicians, entertainers, traders and exhibitors to submit their applications to be part of the Lambeth Country Show 2020, with traders required to submit closed bids for food and drink pitches. Sure is getting mighty pricey for small traders.

Fuck this shit. For the second year running I will be taking a little sound up to the park for an alternative country show. This year with goat.

Went to a lovely birthday picnic in Brockwell Park yesterday. We were roughly where the vegetable sculptures would have been. We even had a 10l box of Chucklehead. Top skies too.

Blimey, every bottle is hand filled and packed by the family. Their farm is tiny too - only one acre! Makes me feel even more chuffed about the fundraiser we sorted for them after their takings were stolen at the Country Show.

No Country Show this year

Online Country Show to cost £20,000 after Lambeth ruled out socially distanced event and shift to September

Lambeth Council considered a socially distanced Country Show for 2021 due to the Covid-19 restrictions.

Not surprised but still disappointed. It doesn't specify any point in spending 20 grand to have an online event that only 8000 people logged on for last year though. Maybe it would be better put into the coffers for next year.

 

[Ms Ordinary]

I'd rather see the £20k saved for next year as well - apparently last years short-notice online version cost only £2k, which seems reasonable.
The extra 18K this year is to have a more creative online presence & reach more people.
I think I'd still just prefer to take a few cans & sit in the park in the sunshine, maybe remember to go to Vauxhall City Farm & visit the alpacas.

“8,285 people engaged with the virtual show compared to 130,000 online during the live show in 2019. 72% were male and 62% were aged between 45 and 54 years. This meant that only a small part of the community engaged with the virtual event.”
