The Countryside Area will feature exciting new demonstrations from Jixenwell Gun Dogs, along with the return of the Farriers, offering visitors a close-up look at their expert craft. Following the success of its return last year, the Garden Show will once again showcase stunning Chelsea-style displays, celebrating horticultural excellence.
Visitors can also enjoy aviation tributes, fitness competitions, a range of live cooking demonstrations and expert gardening tips—ensuring that the 140th Lincolnshire Show is an unmissable event for all ages.
