Lambeth Country Show

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

It is with great regret and heavy hearts that we have to announce the cancellation of this year’s Lambeth Country Show.

The health and safety of our visitors, performers, suppliers and staff members is our highest priority. As such, the London Borough of Lambeth and its EventLambeth team have taken the tough decision to cancel this year’s show to support the efforts being made to contain the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The dates for next year will be 17 and 18 July 2021.

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused and wish you all the best through these trying times.

For more information on coronavirus, including what you can do to protect yourself, support your community and the impact of the disease on our services, please visit the Lambeth Council website, UK Government website or the NHS website.

Traders and Exhibitors

We realise that this is very unsettling times for our industry. At this point we would like to invite all successful applicants for this year to attend in 2021 and are looking into migrating applications over to next year’s event.

If for any reason you cannot trade on those dates please let us know as soon as you can and we will make a note on your application.

We will begin the process of refunding any monies paid immediately. We will process these as fast as possible, but please allow up to 28 days for the money to reach your account.

We may not be able to do the real thing this year, but we have decided to keep the country show spirit alive with a virtual event to entertain you on what would have been the weekend of this year’s show – Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 July.

There will be plenty for you and the family to get involved with as much or as little as you like across the two days. Expect music, workshops, competitions and more. We’ll be releasing information in the coming weeks, so please sign up to our mailing list to be one of the first to find out.
