I grew up in the country amongst fields of golden wheat, mucking out cow pens in my summer holidays and shooting rats with air rifles. Idyllic.


So the idea of a country show in Brixton is quite bizzare and I have to see it with my own eyes. I will be going tomorrow afternoon - see you in the tractor section...

I too grew up in the country, however I must have missed the Jerk bbq , urban sound scape, crustie's plastic policeman part.


For me it was so much more .....well, "defensive" & I had loads of legit guns.


W**F

Have to say I had a great time yesterday afternoon - was a bit gusty but really enjoyed it. Not many rude boys at all in sight and a real family atmosphere thanks to a rather impressive policing operation around the fringes.


Had some of the best jerk pork I have ever had and watched two sheep dogs rounding up some ducks. Also enjoyed that sea shanty band and the cider! Will def go again next year if I'm about.

I was somewhat disappointed with the show this year. There certainly lacked the usual busy busy vibe (perhaps down to the weather).

Noticed a fair number of stalls that resembled a car boot sale which seemed a little out of place. Not enough craft stalls and activities and quite a few different types of stalls (massage, paintings, and juice stalls) were all mixed together not necessarily making sense as compared to other years.

The cider one certainly was quite popular having noticed loads of 4 and 6 pint containers being carried around by young and old.

The "debate" tent was just too silly (amusing).

I was quite disturbed in the animal sections as to the treatment by the "volunteers" towards some of the animals but I shall keep those views to myself (I was quite surprised I felt like this).

In contrast though, the eagles from Eagle heights were a delight even when flying slightly further a field than planned.

The music, as always, was rather fitting for the country feel even with the relaxed attitude of the performers and not knowing who was doing what when. The smaller bands were also not drowned out by other stages as is usually the case each year so that is a good positive plus.


A bit hit and miss is my view.

It was amazing.


2 male owls flying in formation - the owl master even mentioned that he's done wedding where he's had an owl fly in with a ring and presented it to the groom.


Sea shanties, vicious dubstep, a lorry simulator.Britain's Got Talent Irish Dancer Neil Horan and Observer Food Critic Jay Rayner both spotted.

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
