Brockwell Park Festivals Say They’re Still Happening Despite Court Order

London’s Brockwell Park is home to music festivals like Field Day, Mighty Hoopla, City Splash, and Wide Awake, all of which are run by an events firm called Brockwell Live. A local residents group called Protect Brockwell Park has been raising money for a judicial review of those festivals’ governmental approval, claiming that the festivals keep the park closed to the public for longer that the 28 days a year for which the company had official permission. As Resident Advisor reports, a high court judge ruled against Brockwell Live on Friday, claiming that it’s “self-evident” that Brockwell Live is taking longer than the agreed-upon time and that its certificate of lawful development can “only be denied.” That court decision imperils this year’s festivals, but Brockwell Live says that it’s going forward with all of its planned festivals anyway.
