Title: Lincolnshire Show 2025: A Celebration of County’s Rural Heritage
The Lincolnshire Show, celebrating its 140th year, is poised to take place on the 18th and 19th of June, honouring the county’s deep-rooted rural culture and local goods. The event, located at the Lincolnshire Showground in Grange de Lings, Lincoln, anticipates a crowd of roughly 60,000, which includes 6,000 school pupils and more than 500 exhibitors. The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society initiated the show in 1869 as a meeting place for farmers and businesses in the countryside. Famous for its livestock and horse contests, this year’s event will be graced by a royal visit from Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.
Various attractions await visitors, including trade booths showcasing the latest agricultural machinery, displays of local goods, and entertainment suitable for all ages. The 2025 program will introduce some fresh features such as performances by the Knights of Middle England and appearances by TV host Matt Baker MBE. Other key attractions include a Rural Voices Stage, a Garden Show, and a live DJ at a simulated beach.
With features such as hard-surfaced roads, toilets for individuals with mobility challenges, and electric mobility scooter rentals, the show is accessible for everyone. Attendees are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles for refills, and dogs are permitted if kept on short leads. The event provides free car parking and dedicated bus services from Lincoln railway station and Gainsborough bus station, ensuring accessibility for all.
Advance bookings are accepted until 11 p.m. on the 17th of June, offering a cost benefit compared to buying tickets on the day. The smooth operation of the event is ensured by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, a registered charity, with the assistance of more than 200 stewards.
The Lincolnshire Show is an unmissable event for those interested in attending, offering a unique chance to experience the best of the county’s rural assets.
