Lambeth Country Show 2006
Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London 15th-16th July 2006


Saturday (part 1)

The 32nd year of the Lambeth Country Show turned out to be another cracker, with gorgeous weather over both days.

One of the largest free events of its kind in the South East of England, this year's show served up the usual mix of medieval jousting, reggae bands, prize vegetables, steam engines, prize cakes and more!

Here's our 2006 report.

Knights of the Damned jousting, Lambeth Country Show, Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London 15th-16th July 2006
Once again, the Knights of the Damned were in attendance and doing their medieval thang.

Knights of the Damned jousting, Lambeth Country Show, Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London 15th-16th July 2006
Against a back drop of incredibly cheesey rock songs, the horsemen put on a fine show of jousting, with the knights fighting for the honour of becoming the World Jousting Champion and lifting the coveted 'Golden Goblet.' Or something.

The Knights of the Damned are owned by Justin Pearson, a well known TV and Film stuntman.

We scored some awesome olives and bread inside the Complementary health and Food Hall, but preferred to go for the cider rather than the Reiki.

The police helicopter takes off.

We like seeing them at the Country Fair but aren't so keen to have the buggers hovering over our flat at 4am every other night.

As usual, the steam engine operated wood cutters were at the fair. We like them.

To be honest, we haven't the foggiest what this thing is supposed to be, but we can tell you it was created by the folks at the Brockwell Park Community Gardens and it scooped First Prize and a 'Best in Show' accolade.

Mrs D Woodgson had to settle for a lowly third place, with the judge's note expressing their disappointment with the plant's 'wilting.'

Lambeth Country Show, Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London 15th-16th July 2006
Mrs J Thorn romped home with first place, with the judge's handwritten note sagely advising, 'lovely arrangement - fairly simple but simple is often more effective.'
