  • Financial negotiations about the park rent with Lambeth Council are subject to commercial confidentiality. However, the income from Brockwell Live helps pay for park maintenance, including the £500,000 annual cost of maintaining Brockwell Park, and to fund the Lambeth Events team who deliver over 200 community events a year.  


    In addition to the rent, Brockwell Live contributes £100k each year to the Park Investment Levy (PIL) which is ring-fenced for park improvements only. The park investment levy is transferred to the Parks department and in consultation with the Brockwell Park Community Partners is spent on various projects, including biodiversity initiatives, restoration of heritage facilities (such as the Listed clock tower outside Brockwell Hall), and enhancements to play and sport facilities.  


    PIL is not used for park repairs, which are funded by Lambeth, or for repairs after the events which are funded by the event organiser.  


    Furthermore, Brockwell Live has donated over £139k to local community projects since 2019, and for more information on this and how to apply, please see here

  • Brockwell Live has been approved to take place within the boundaries of Lambeth’s Event Strategy and Event Policy 2020 – 2025, in addition to an agreed Events Framework on Brockwell Park in consultation with the Brockwell Park Community Partners.  


    Brockwell Live goes through a rigorous event application process and additional legislative and statutory procedures such as licensing and building control before our event. Our event plans are scrutinised at every stage of the planning by Officers, Councillors and agencies within the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) including MET Police Events and Licensing teams, NHS, TfL, and various Lambeth departments.  


    Our events are always subject to the debrief, pre-planning, consultation, and Safety Advisory Group (SAG) processes. No event in Brockwell Park is authorised until council officers and responsible agencies within the SAG are satisfied that any learning from the previous event has been considered and mitigated where possible.  


    In consultation with stakeholders, the Brockwell Live series takes place in the Spring so that the park is available for the community during the school holidays.
