Although part of the Flower Show Competitions, this class deserves a section all to itself. Our Vegetable Sculpture Competition attracts unrivalled interest and queues around the block from people itching to see these amazing vegetable pieces of art – not forgetting puns galore!

For our virtual event, we challenged you at home to take part in our Best in Show.

Our friends at Paws and Pause Dog Day Care were going to host our very first dog show in the Main Arena in 2020. As they couldn’t do an actual show, they ran an online competition for all you dog owners. Here’s a picture of ‘Cookie The Tiny Chihuahua‘ who was the overall winner – chosen by comedian/actor Sara Pascoe.

We are always looking for experienced and enthusiastic individuals to help us produce the show. There may be further opportunities to work on a freelance basis, as well as on site at the event itself.

Please send your CV and covering letter outlining your skills and experience to countryshow@lambeth.gov.uk if you would like us to add you to our database.

Visit our virtual event page on how to get involved in our online event this year.

Register your interest here for our 2022 live event in Brockwell Park.
