And to think a few years ago you could just stroll in with no hassle at all

I was in the park last weekend and i noticed a few tents going up that looked suspiciously like the type security funnel people through and pick people off to search.

 

[Epona]

Blimey, I think I'll give it a miss (I can't really afford to buy alcohol at places, and if I can't bring some in then nope) - it was many years ago now, but the last time I went I remember taking beer with me and then taking acid and having a whale of a time. I think there was jousting but I couldn't be entirely sure whether that existed IRL iykwim.

They'll be there. You have to agree to a search to be let in.

Here's a short overview: Lambeth Country Show: can you bring booze in and and other questions answered

 

[TopCat]

The security is likely to be really heavy after what happened at Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park recently.

 

[pbsmooth]

Not really the same crowd but I doubt they need an excuse.

Security firms have a lot of assumptions about Brixton people.

 

[Callie]

Are dogs allowed?

 

[snowy_again]

The main stage looks tiny

 

[snowy_again]

Also it doesn’t look like it will be ready by tomorrow morning

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

The main stage looks tiny

Its never a big stage to be fair.

 

[snowy_again]

Its never a big stage to be fair.

Agree, but from the back it looks much smaller than last year

 

[editor]

Are dogs allowed?

Yes.

 

[technical]

Are dogs allowed?

Yes - there’s also a paws and pause area

 

[editor]

Handy what's on guide! Saturday at the Lambeth Country Show: times and listings for the Main Stage, Village Green and Arts & Culture stage

 

[cuppa tee]

Yes.

....dont think Id be taking a dog out for long in this heat.

 

[TopCat]

We need reports! Tales of smiling security and decent booze and entertainment might shift me from my garden.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Am sat outside entrance A, near the lido. I can see people being asked to empty pockets and the wand being waved over them. Seems like an overkill, and means I probably won't be able to smuggle in cans. The fence is not high at all though.

 

[snowy_again]

The search is rude but ineffective

 

[TopCat]

The search is rude but ineffective

Not a good combination.

 

[Callie]

I'm slowly on my way on the hottest bus in the world but I have a fan and a flask of mojito

 

[Crispy]

Cursory bag inspection for me. I could have had 2 cans and a bottle of rum in the front compartment and they'd not know. Just made a big deal of showing them the main bit

 

[Callie]

I did not manage to sneak in some rum. If anyone wants some spiced rum I'm outside entrance A

 

[nagapie]

Did you try

 

[Callie]

Did you try

Yes. It was not hidden well tbf. Amateur!

 

[Callie]

As sad as I am about the demise of this festival due to the mammoth fence, I'm still gonna go.

Maybe see some urbs under the cedar tree by Brockwell Hall as we've done in previous years?

Had that tree got a fence around it or am I looking at the wrong tree?

 

[friendofdorothy]

They have been digging up the ground near Brockwell hall for ages - the oak is surrounded by fencing.
I popped in at midday - visited a few charity / community stalls, bought some chuckle head and left early before it got busy.

 

[friendofdorothy]

The search is rude but ineffective

scanned my bag - made no comment on the small bottle od water I was holding in my hand.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Wasn't obvious where you were supposed to exit.
I asked at the entance were there where not many people coming in and dozens of empty fenced lines with loads of security staff standing about. The guards indicated the only line with a security man standing between the fences. He just stood to one side ie still half blocking a person wide space. If I wasn't over 60 I would have thought he wanted me to rub up against him. I gave him a hard stare till he came all the way out of the space, rude bastard.

 

[Stig]

Went. Took all my usual stuff in, beers, pen knife, all seemed fine. got grumpy and overly warm and went home, but the thing itself seemed fine
