Read MoreWith June in full swing, the famous Lincolnshire Show is just days away.
Back for its 139th year on Wednesday 19th June and Thursday 20th June, the event is set to be a “big day out” for almost 60,000 people from Lincolnshire and beyond.
Ahead of opening day, Lincolnshire Show organisers have shared their answers to the event’s frequently asked questions, providing visitors with everything you need to know.
The gates open at 8am and the Show closes at 6pm on Wednesday and Thursday. All trade stands and concessions are open until 6pm on both days.
The Lincolnshire Show is one of the most successful agricultural shows in the UK and, as it prepares for its 139th Show, it is one of the oldest.
Held at the Lincolnshire Showground, a 270-acre events venue located north of Lincoln, the Lincolnshire Show welcomes around 60,000 people across two days each year.
The Show is organised by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, a registered charity whose aims are to educate the local community about food, farming and the countryside. All profits from the Show go towards supporting educational work, which engages more than 15,000 local school children each year.
Visitors can expect an action-packed two days with fun for all the family. The Show will offer an eclectic mix of horticulture, live music, children’s activities, local food and drink, along with magnificent live performances.
The Garden Show: Get ready for a burst of vibrant hues as 10 local nurseries bring their A-game with the most amazing array of colours and creations.
Come out to support the talent on show as they compete and showcase their fantastic designs!
The Beach: Also new for 2024, 60 tonnes of sand will create a seaside-inspired oasis where children are invited to play in the sand and transport themselves to the beautiful Lincolnshire Coast.
There are also many other new and surprising events and activities in store, as well as traditional favourites.
The Lincolnshire Show takes place at Lincolnshire Showground, Grange-de-Lings, Lincoln, LN2 2NA.

The Lincolnshire Show encourages visitors to bring a reusable water bottle that can be filled up at drinking water taps, which will be located across the Showground. This also helps reduce single-use plastic and waste.

There will be two cash machines during the Show days. We always recommend that visitors bring both cash and card to the Show as some exhibitors will accept one and not the other.
