THE LINCOLNSHIRE SHOW IS COMING TO TOWN

14 May 2015, Press Releases

SHOPPERS in Lincolnshire will be able to pick up more than they bargained for in May as The Lincolnshire Show's 'Show Comes to Town' visits Market Rasen and Gainsborough as well as Lincoln city centre.

Farm animals, tractors and plenty of local produce will be on offer to give shoppers the chance to experience some of the exciting attractions that are on offer at The Lincolnshire Show held in June.

For the first time in decades the Lincolnshire Show will be visiting Market Rasen and Gainsborough following the success of Show Comes to Town that debuted in Lincoln last year.

Amelia Chambers, marketing manager at Lincolnshire Showground, said: "Last year Show Comes to Town proved to be so popular that this year we decided to roll out the event even further to Market Rasen and Gainsborough.

"We attract thousands of people to the show each year but still want to show those who don't attend or haven't for a while what's on offer on a smaller scale.
"The Lincolnshire Show is focused around agriculture but it has developed into an educational, entertaining and jam-packed day perfect for families, schools and couples. No matter what age you are the show offers entertainment with so much variety.
"I'm looking forward to Show Comes to Town – it's fantastic to see a taste of the show in town and city centres and children absolutely love the farm animals."

On Saturday 2 May, Show Comes to Town will be in Market Rasen then in Gainsborough town centre on 29 May. The final event will be in Lincoln City Square on 30 May.

Visitors will be able to indulge in Lincolnshire sausage sandwiches from Uncle Henry's and taste Redhill Farm Free Range Pork or cool off with Willingham Fayre ice cream.

There will also be an opportunity to meet the Lincoln Longwool sheep and enjoy performances from the Bevox, Nettleham and Horncastle Community Choirs and Rhythm in Movement.

Displays from Louth Tractors, Thurlby Motors, Peacock and Binnington, Lincoln Inspired and EBP will also be wowing the crowds.

The events are free and advanced show tickets will be on sale at the event, at a reduced price of £17 for adults. Find out more on www.lincolnshireshow.co.uk.
