On February 3 Lambeth council announced that they have cancelled the Lambeth Country Show this year. 


The free show saw people from across London descend on Brockwell Park every July to a unique mix of sheep shearing, jerk chicken, vegetable sculpting and a lot of Chucklehead cider. Find out more here: http://www.brixtonblog.com/lambeth-country-show-cancelled-due-to-olympics/ 


 This petition calls on Lambeth council to reinstate the Lambeth Country Show for 2012, by rearranging the date so it is not affected by the Olympic Games.

Jerk chicken and cider in the park is a london tradition. Dont kill it off because of some stupid games.

Brockwell park wont be the same without it. My kids look forward to the animals every single year. Really sad decision.
