Local MP, John Jenkyns, has recently stirred up some controversy with his declaration to resurrect the ‘Lincolnshire Great Exhibition’, a contemporary interpretation of the famed 1851 event hosted at London’s Crystal Palace. Jenkyns conceives this ambitious project as a platform to shed light on the county’s prosperous past and forward-thinking nature, simultaneously evoking parallels with the cherished Lincolnshire Show. Nonetheless, it seems that Jenkyns is primarily orienting his event towards the Spark! Lincolnshire Engineering Festival, thereby emphasising local industrial abilities and future prospects over purely agrarian attractions.
A flurry of mixed opinions has subsequently broken out over the internet, with several people sceptically regarding the upcoming event as a simple recurrence of the Lincolnshire Show. Conversely, others are excited about the unique chance this offers to globally promote the county’s inventive capacity. As more event details come to light, it remains guaranteed that both locals and industry captains will keenly observe the unfolding of Jenkyns’ exhibition.
