1 May 2013, Press Releases

The 129th Lincolnshire Show takes place on Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th June this year from 8am-6pm each day.

Dubbed as one of the county's most infamous events, the organiser's promise an exciting day out for all the family, and this year is shaping up to be no exception. The event is brimming with activities for all ages – and even dogs are welcome through the gates.

Select Lincolnshire will be championing the county's finest produce from cheese and ale to cakes and crisps. Expect old favourites and new editions to this year's Food Court with Pipers Crisps, Cote Hill Blue, Redhill Farm Free Range Pork and the newly launched Scrubby's Vegetable Crisps.

Show sponsors Duckworth will be offering a Land Rover Experience for thrill seeking car enthusiasts wanting to tackle a purpose -built off road course. The track will run behind the Duckworth Land Rover stand and contrast Lincolnshire's flat landscape with steep inclines and rough terrain.

A land train will travel throughout the 200 acres of Showground on both days. This free bus will offer visitors a fun and relaxing way for the whole family to see the Show – without leaving your seat.

Aviation fanatics will be treated to a number of air displays including a demonstration from the Showground's neighbours The Red Arrows and a spectacular fly past from the Battle of Britain Memorial Dakota aircraft.

Agriculture and farming are still very much at the heart of the Lincolnshire Show and will be evident throughout the event. Once again visitors will be able to watch the popular machinery parade, sponsored by Spalding's and the vintage tractor display. There will be numerous livestock and equine competitions on both days culminating at the 'Grand Parade' ceremony.

The Discovery Zone, sponsored by Woldmarsh will be back with a new theme – 'From Cow to Cornett'. Visitors will learn about the journey from the farm to the ice cream parlour via Lincolnshire's Dennett's Ice Cream. With taste testing, demonstrations and talks visitors will leave the Show knowing everything about their favourite summertime treat.

The Jerry Green Dog Crèche returns with their team of expert dog handlers offering fresh water and food, space to roam and shaded areas for any of our visiting four-legged friends.

Finally don't forget the 600 shopping stands in the RSA Mews and beyond including Showground favourites Joules, Aga Rangemaster and new to the Show Rampant Sporting.

What better way to spend the day than browsing 200 acres of shops, watching entertaining events, learning about Lincolnshire's farming roots, listening to music, eating delicious food and sipping a glass of Pimm's on the lawn?
