US EditionBrockwell Live Confirm Wide Awake, Field Day, The Mighty Hoopla and More Will Go Ahead Despite Losing Court Case
- Several Brockwell Live festivals, including Wide Awake, Field Day, and Mighty Hoopla, will proceed in Brockwell Park, Lambeth starting May 23, 2025.
- The events follow a High Court ruling that quashed a certificate of lawfulness due to the park's use exceeding 28 permitted days to 37 days, favoring resident Rebekah Shaman's challenge.
- Following the recent High Court decision addressing an administrative issue, Summer Events Limited has submitted a new application for a certificate of lawfulness covering 24 days, and they have assured that none of the scheduled festivals will be cancelled.
- Michael Kill of the Night Time Industries Association said cancelling would harm thousands and the supply chain including local vendors, while Sir Mark Rylance called the ruling ‘wonderful news’ for nature.
- The ruling illustrates tensions between cultural events and park stewardship, with organisers committed to the park’s upkeep and the local economy expecting a surge from the festivals this summer.
