Wide Awake festival in Brockwell Park is cancelled for 2026; organisers say the event is taking a break.
Lambeth Council has axed the Lambeth Country Show and dropped a last-minute legal appeal in order to allow the rest of the Brockwell Live events programme to go ahead next summer. Questions had been raised over the legality of major events in Brockwell Park including Mighty Hoopla, Field Day and Wide Awake after the council lost a High Court challenge in May. A judge ruled the events exceeded the permitted 28 days allowed under temporary change-of-use rules.
