Lincolnshire Show-goers this year can expect high adrenaline kicks from headliner The Kangaroo Kid – a quad bike stuntman.
The countryside ring will welcome back Lincolnshire Police Dogs, Cuerden Falconry and talented horse riders, among other impressive skills.
Local chefs will be hosting a number of cooking demonstrations, and a collection of food and drink stalls will display some of Lincolnshire’s finest produce, available to buy.
The show events are hosted against a backdrop of award-winning livestock, unique gift opportunities and expansive displays of historic and modern agricultural machinery.

Last year, the 130th show welcomed 60,000 visitors, and organisers are hoping to top that this year.
Jayne Southall, CEO of the Lincolnshire Showground, said: “The show is always two days of entertainment for everyone and this year promises to be the biggest and most varied Lincolnshire Show to date.
“We have a large variety of attractions and activities this year which are suitable for the whole family and truly highlight the best that Lincolnshire has to offer.
“The main ring will be full of a variety of exciting demonstrations as well as some old favourites. It is really going to be a showstopper this year so make sure that you don’t miss out.”
