Lincolnshire’s biggest day out will celebrate food, farming and the countryside on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th June
The countdown is on to the 141st Lincolnshire Show, one of the county’s largest and most anticipated events, promising two action-packed days of entertainment with brand-new features and returning favourites.
Hosted by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS), a registered charity dedicated to educating the public on food, farming and the countryside, this year’s Show will take place at the Lincolnshire Showground on 17th and 18th June.
The annual celebration of country life showcases the best of Lincolnshire, with around 2,500 animals on display, 500 exhibitors and a programme of must-see events that range from educational activities and arts and crafts, to extreme sports and feats of strength.
Among the new attractions for 2026 is a thrilling Dart Chukka Polo Display, delivering fast-paced action and sporting spectacle to crowds. Visitors will be able to experience the skill, speed and precision of the riders and ponies up close in this mesmerising Main Ring performance.
Also appearing this year is the Squibb Freestyle FMX Show, which is set to be an audience favourite with high-energy motocross stunts and impressive aerial tricks.
Fond favourites such as Hawkeye Falconry, the Shetland Pony Grand National and the Shire Horse of the Year Qualifier will return, as well as the popular Lincolnshire Kitchen - which will be hosted by celebrity chef Rachel Green, showcasing local produce and culinary talent.
Back by popular demand is the Lincolnshire Show Beach, which will provide a seaside escape at the heart of the Showground, giving visitors the chance to unwind, play and soak up the summer atmosphere.
With Lincolnshire home to more than 4,500 farms, the Show remains true to its roots with a strong focus on farming and country life. All funds raised through ticket sales are invested in the LAS’ charity work, including the LAS Education Programme, and are reinvested in producing the Show each year.
Charlotte Powell, CEO of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, said:
“The Lincolnshire Show is the flagship event for our county and we’re incredibly excited to be back for the 141st Show in June. With returning favourites like the Rural Voices Stage and the Garden Show, alongside exciting new attractions such as the Polo Display, we’re shaping a Show that celebrates tradition while continuing to evolve for future generations.
“There will be the much-loved Britain’s Fittest Farmer qualifiers by Farmer’s Weekly, showcasing the strength and resilience of farmers, and we are proud to be the only agricultural show in the country to host a qualifier.
“And as always, education remains at the heart of our society, so we’re inviting local schools to take part in the LAS Schools’ Challenge where they can compete across 10 different categories to learn about food, farming and the countryside.
“We look forward to welcoming you all for the 141st Show, whether you’re a regular visitor or it’ll be your first time celebrating with us - it’s a great opportunity to proudly showcase the rich heritage and culture of Lincolnshire.”
The iconic Lincolnshire Show is a family-friendly day out that draws over 62,000 visitors every year - including 6,000 school children. The 2026 event also marks an exciting new chapter for the Lincolnshire Show, with the appointment of James Matthews as Show Director, who will oversee the event and support its continued growth.
