Jayne Southall, CEO of Lincolnshire Showground, said: “This year is a very special one for the Lincolnshire Showground as we are able to host two of our best family-themed events for the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic. We are so pleased to see the events back for 2022.
“The team are so proud of these events, where we offer an array of exciting features and performers while keeping the traditions of the shows and maintaining their roots in agriculture. Countryside Lincs is full of activities and is a fabulous day out, making the event perfect for first-time visitors or those returning year after year.
“Meanwhile, we are extremely excited for the return of the greatest show of all – the Lincolnshire Show. We’re really proud to celebrate the best of Lincolnshire and its great heritage. The show is a testament to the fantastic trade, talent and produce that the county has to offer, and we love being able to showcase that in one place. 2022 is going to be a phenomenal year and we can’t wait to reveal even more special surprises that we’ve got up our sleeves.”
