Local residents in Lambeth have failed in their latest bid to stop several music festivals – including Wide Awake, Mighty Hoopla and Field Day – from going ahead in Brockwell Park.
Resident Juliet Chambers challenged Lambeth Council over its decision to use part of the park for the events, arguing it had misinterpreted the meaning of “recreation”, but Mr Justice Jay dismissed the claim, ruling the festivals qualify as a “cultural activity”.
