All Brockwell Live shows run by Summer Events Ltd, including Wide Awake (23 May), Field Day (24 May), Cross The Tracks (25 May), City Splash (26 May) and Mighty Hoopla (31 May), will go ahead as planned.

While Brockwell Live produces the shows, they are promoted by companies including Broadwick Live and Superstruct, with the latter owning Field Day, Mighty Hoopla and Cross The Tracks (pictured).

The Lambeth Country Show, produced by Brockwell Live in partnership with Lambeth Council, will also go ahead on 7-8 June as planned.

Doubts were cast over the staging of the events after a High Court ruling on 16 May found that Lambeth Council had greenlit the shows without following the proper planning permission process. The claimant, Rebekah Shaman, said the change of use permission only enabled the park to be used for events for 28 days per year, and the Court found that parts of the park would be used for events for as much as 37 days.

Lambeth Council said Summer Events has applied for a new certificate of lawfulness, for 24 days, following the High Court ruling last week on the previous certificate. The council said it is urgently considering the new application, and that the consideration does not stop the events proceeding.

Brockwell Live issued a statement in which it said, “We take our stewardship of Brockwell Park seriously. As we prepare to deliver these much-loved, culturally significant events, we remain fully committed to its care, upkeep, and long-term wellbeing.

“With setup nearly complete, we look forward to opening the gates and welcoming festivalgoers later this week.”

Lambeth Council said it had entered into a service agreement with Summer Events Ltd over the last two years to maintain a “free and safe” Lambeth Country Show and secure funding for its parks. Summer Events Ltd manage the Lambeth Country Show using some infrastructure from Brockwell Live.
