The annual Lincolnshire Show, usually held in June at the Lincolnshire Showground just north of Lincoln, continues to attract over 600 businesses and organisations, and tens of thousands of visitors each year. 2009 marks the 125th anniversary of this iconic event.

It’s very much a “something for everyone” show, featuring exhilarating attractions and entertainment, traditional livestock classes and events and trade stands, complemented by wonderful Main Ring events. This annual agricultural event continues to bring together some of the finest examples of rare breed animals, rural crafts and finest farming and food.

The Lincolnshire Show is perhaps most famous for the Grand Parade of prize winning livestock, one of the best such displays in the country. The Parade takes place in the main ring and demonstrates the exceptionally high standard of animals reared and the hard work and dedication put in all year round by the stock attendants. It is often followed by an unusual specialist display team or exhibition from, for example, an Army motorcycle display team, or specialist group of horse riders.

The keen gardener will be right at home in the Horticultural Zone. There are dazzling displays of plants and flowers and usually a colourful Floral Decoration Competition. There is everything to do with gardening for the enthusiast – advice, techniques, equipment, plants and flowers - in the Horticultural Zone.

The Food Court has become a buzz of activity over the years with visitors treated to a multitude of culinary delights. The demonstrations of fine local recipes, sometimes by celebrity chefs, always prove extremely popular, generating great interest from a very appreciative crowd of visitors.

And there’s always guaranteed to be some very unusual and highly entertaining events being held in the popular Countryside Area, which has seen birds of prey and sheep racing, to name but two of the extraordinary events held there.
