Lambeth Country Show

Lambeth Country Show 2012 - part one

Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London
[Map location] 15th - 16th September 2012

For a while it looked like the 38th Lambeth Country Show wasn't going to take place after the council cancelled its traditional July slot, citing the Olympics as an excuse - [see the story here].

Happily, a vigorous local campaign saw the show reinstated, with the event moving to September - and once again, a fantastic free event was on offer.

Here's some photos from the weekend, which was blessed with some lovely late summer sunshine.

Pig racing in the main arena. I have to say, it sounded a bit more exciting than it actually was.

Crowd gathered for the Fire Service demonstration on 'How not to put out a smoking chip pan fire.'

Whoosh! Singed eyebrows a-plenty as the pan exploded into flame!

What you're supposed to do is turn off the heat, cover the pan with a damp cloth and leave to cool for at least 30 minutes - or if you're in any doubt at all, GTFO and call 999 pronto.
