LOCATION: Herne Hill, South East London.
ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome back to London today I in
southeast London I've come to Herne Hill that's Herne Hill station behind me just
across the road is a park Brockwell Park and each summer there's an
amazing event in the park called the Lambeth country show it's kind of an unusual mix
of farmyard art event a music festival so I'am going to check out this year's event and I'll
share that with you I normally come with my mates and watch the music festival
but it's been a terrible few days weather-wise and
this year just gonna well today I'm just gonna check out the art take a look at
the farmyard and get some lunch and maybe I'll come back tomorrow with my mates
if the weather's better tomorrow as soon as the rain clouds come back today I'm off
but yeah let's go check out what this years show's got to offer
here's the park
(Music)
okay got through security it is a free event with a security your not allowed alcohol or glass
in anymore it's a huge event here's a map of what's going on the main stage is
somewhere there behind me I'am gonna check out the farm first of all
(Music)
They've made a lot of changes to this event last year they put a perimeter fence
around it and there are far more security guards and security
restrictions at the gates where you come in your no longer allowed to bring your own alcohol
in but they serve alcohol here in many ways it's become a much bigger and not a
lot of people who have been coming for years will like me saying this but a better
events there's more stages here now you've got the main stage behind me and then
another stage behind me there nowa Car Show there is still the farm here multiple markets
loads of food and drink stalls here and
it's dead right now because like I say the weather for the last few days has
been terrible because everyone thought it would rain and it would be a big muddy puddle but right now
the sun shining and
it's looking like its gonna be a great afternoon however people make the event so
hopefully more people turn up now the sun is shining and
give the event some atmosphere
(Music)
the smell of barbecue is phenomenal lets get some chicken
(music)
okay chicken rice and peas gravy and salad lets try this
jerk chicken
its pretty good
rice and peas
I prefer it a little bit spicier it's pretty good right I'm gonna enjoy this
while watching the music
(Music)
there's this big old house in the middle of Brockwell Park which is open all year
as a cafe today the grounds of the cafe have been turned into an eco village there's
a flower show here and vegetable sculptures and I think the queue for vegetable
sculptures there's more people queuing to look at vegetables than there is
watching the acts on the main stage right now
(Music)
okay its been raining for days here in London it was raining this morning
pretty much as soon as I got here the Sun came out and its been shining ever
since however I think the the weather's put a lot of people off this year there's
not as many people here as there has been in previous years but it's still
early yet I want to come back tomorrow if the weather's better and enjoy the
music with some friends I've had a great time here today hope you enjoyed this quick
trip to this year's Lambeth country show I'll see you again soon Toodle!
