The countryside comes to South London for a weekend, cows and all, as the leafy expanse of Brockwell Park welcomes herds of hairy visitors, accompanied by brilliant live music. The annual Lambeth Country Show is a weird and very entertaining mixture: city kids get to soak up a taste of rural England - falconry shows, jousting, sheep dog displays, a fruit and veg competition, steam engines and the like - then restore their urban cool with two days of top soul and reggae with music from some of Brixton's finest soundsystems. Local acts on the main stage include Top Cats featuring Brixton's Natty Bo and Prince Malachi backed by Mafia and Fluxy Band. Meanwhile, over on the Village Green stage you get acoustic and folk music from Naomi Bedford and Paul Simmonds followed by some psychedelic pop from Resonance FM regulars deXter Bentley. A fantastic free family festival and a tribute to the enduring spirit of London's liveliest borough.
