US EditionA Quirky Vegetable Sculpture Contest Features a Squash Donald Trump and a Papal ‘Cornclave’
- The Lambeth Country Show held in London’s Brockwell Park on June 7, 2025, featured vegetable sculptures including Donald Trump, Dolly Parton, and a papal 'Cornclave'.
- This annual urban country fair includes sheep-shearing, livestock contests, food, music, and a nationally renowned vegetable sculpture contest that inspired these themed entries.
- The vegetable sculptures included a nod to the recent papal election with maize cardinals titled “Cornclave,” featured depictions of the Irish rap trio Kneecap and Liverpool star Mo Salah, and offered satirical takes on local politics, such as Mark Rylance portrayed as “Mark Rylunch.”
- Maddy Luxon, a frequent attendee of the Country Fair, expressed that the vegetable sculptures are the highlight of the event each year, praising their originality, cleverness, and particularly enjoying the political humor, a sentiment shared by Marek Szandrowski who appreciated the witty wordplay.
- The show’s blend of tradition and quirky vegetable art underscores its cultural engagement and reflects local debate over park use for large concerts to raise funds despite some neighbors' opposition.
