Education at the showground

We’re pleased to be able to offer local Schools funding to contribute towards transport costs and giving school groups the opportunity to visit farms and other sites related to agriculture. The funding is also available to help Lincolnshire schools develop their own gardens and allotments.

To be considered for a grant, Lincolnshire schools will be asked to submit a simple outline of the proposed visit, including the purpose, age range of pupils and numbers involved and detail how the curriculum will be enriched by the visit. A member of the team will then send you the application form if appropriate.

The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society Impact Group was launched in March 2015 at the inaugural Lincolnshire Farming Conference. The Impact Group is a members group for young professionals, bringing together like-minded farmers and industry supporters. 

Established by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society with its main aim is to advance, promote and improve agriculture and horticultural industries for future generations. Members share a passion for Lincolnshire, its farming, countryside, food production and business.

The LAS Impact Group meets several times a year, getting together to visit places of interest, events and professional development opportunities. Members can also enjoy a mix of networking and social occasions during drinks reception at the Lincolnshire Farming Conference and Lincolnshire Show. 

While the Impact Group membership and visits are usually free of charge, we highly recommend joining the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society at a reduced rate. To support the Society and receive a host of benefits across the year along with priority booking on Impact Group events.

The group is ran by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society and if you'd like to hear more about upcoming events in the calendar please contact our education team.

As well as arranging our own education initiatives and events, we also work with local educational establishments to support their programmes each year too!

We’re building a great relationship with the University of Lincoln by supporting the students with their studies from first year through to final year students. Projects include working alongside our Showground Marketing team to analyse the website for functionality and appeal, a field trip and a consultancy project to bridge the gap between the classroom and industry to help prepare students for future employability.

We work alongside LGTA (Lincoln Group Training Association) in conjunction with CITB and Lincolnshire & Rutland EBP to hold a career taster event for Lincolnshire school children. For three days each year, the Showground is converted into a workshop for more than 20 different activities, giving students an insight into the construction industry from the best in the business.
