About the Show
The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society's rich history began in 1869. For over 155 years the Society has dedicated itself to promoting food, farming and the countryside through events such as the Lincolnshire Show
Our Journey
The Lincolnshire Show has always been more than just an event—it's a reflection of our heritage, resilience, and innovation. As I lead the 2025 show, my goal is to build on its legacy, ensuring it remains a vibrant showcase of our county’s farming, businesses, and community spirit.
While our agricultural roots run deep, we must also look forward. The 2025 show will blend tradition with innovation, preserving what makes us unique while introducing fresh ideas that inspire and engage all who attend.
Lincolnshire’s success depends on the hard work of our farmers and local businesses. This year, we will create even more opportunities for them to connect, trade, and share their expertise, ensuring they receive the recognition and support they deserve.
The future of agriculture depends on sustainability. From renewable energy initiatives to eco-friendly farming techniques, the 2025 show will highlight real-world solutions that protect our land, livestock, and livelihoods.
The show is for everyone—farmers, families, and businesses alike. We’re expanding hands-on experiences, educational workshops, and live demonstrations, making this a truly engaging event where people can learn, explore, and celebrate together.
At its core, the Lincolnshire Show is about people. Whether you come for the livestock, food, or entertainment, I hope you leave feeling a stronger connection to our incredible community.
Beyond 2025, my vision is to inspire future generations, ensuring they feel pride in Lincolnshire’s heritage and excitement for its future. Together, we can make this year’s show the most memorable yet.
