Fancy being treated like an A-lister when you visit the 130th Lincolnshire Show this summer? As a member of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, you'll enjoy VIP treatment including Pimm's on the lawn, priority parking, exclusive entertainment and discounts throughout the showground.

The Lincolnshire Show, which is one of the largest and most prestigious county shows in the UK, takes place at the Lincolnshire Showground on 18 and 19 June, and is bigger and better than ever with attractions for all the family including headline act RAF Falcons, ferret shows, equestrian gymnastics, delicious artisan food and children's entertainment.

Membership is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the Show in style and those who are planning to visit on both days of the event. By becoming a member of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, members will enjoy over £500 worth of benefits for just £53, and for those under 26, a discounted membership is available at just £38.
