Accessibility at the Show
The Lincolnshire Showground has a lot of hard standing and tarmac roads to facilitate access. Toilet facilities across the Lincolnshire Showground are accessible for those with mobility issues.
We have a Changing Places toilet located in our EXO Centre (opposite the EPIC Centre).
In addition, we have Event Mobility, who hire out mobility scooters on-site in both the Brown and White car parks. - See below for more details.
