What else is on?
Shopping
There will be 600 stalls at the show, with traders travelling from all over the world to sell their products.
Visitors can buy everything from clothing, jewellery, and handbags, to lawnmowers, hot tubs, and cars.
Food
The food is definitely something to check out, with hot food stands selling sausage, bacon, and egg sandwiches, and a vast array of stalls selling delicious street food.
Visitors can also buy ingredients such as meat, cheeses, jams, chutney, and local ales.
The Floral Art Competition
This year, the show’s title is ‘It’s a Wonderful World’. People who take part will showcase their work, based on this theme, in a variety of different competitions.
This can be found in the horticultural area of the Lincolnshire Showground.
The Aviation Zone
This amazing edition of the show returns this year, allowing visitors of all ages to explore real-life cockpits and fuselages.
Experts from a variety of aviation heritage centres will also be there to help people of all ages discover the rich aviation history linked with the county.
How Can I Get There?
The A15 from the A46 Lincoln bypass to the A631 at Caenby Corner is closed to all but show traffic.
Organisers of the Lincolnshire Show have asked that people consider the route they will take to and from the show, and ask that visitors also consider what time they leave as the show hosts around 12,000 cars. This can unfortunately lead to inevitable queuing on the day.
Stagecoach will also be running a shuttle service between the showground and Lincoln City Bus Station and a regular bus service will be running every 15 minutes. It will leave the Lincoln City bus station at 8:30AM.
Young person (16 – 22) tickets are available, however they are only available in advance.
For everyone who doesn’t want to buy tickets online, many stores around the county sell tickets right up until the Show. You can find the full list on the tickets page.

Roman Bank, one of Skegness’ busiest roads, will temporarily pause roadworks and reopen to the public for four months this summer.
The project began in September 2020 and was scheduled to take eight months, with the road being closed throughout to repair and replace worn out carriageways and footpaths.
Lincolnshire County Council has now confirmed that construction will be halted for four months in May, allowing for locals to move freely around Skegness as lockdown eases further.
Traffic management is expected to be removed by Wednesday, May 26, meaning residents will be free to use the area over the summer.
The project will then resume on Monday, September 20, before completing road and footway improvements from Muirfield Drive up to the junction with North Shore Road by spring 2022.
Before the reopening, work will take place to rebuild the Roman Bank section north of Muirfield Drive to Fenland Laundry, excavating 500 tonnes of old road in the process.
The project has seen one of Skegness’ busiest roads closed for some time.
As well as this, a road closure will be in place between Asda and Brancaster Drive for seven days, starting on Monday, May 17.
The diversion route for this will be via the A52/C541/A158 at the Gunby dual carriageway, and vice versa.
The road’s rebuild hasn’t been without its setbacks, with the council blaming Cadent Gas, suppliers of the gas pipes for the project, for delaying the project in March by asking to move one of the pipes.
Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways at LCC, said the date allows for businesses to trade easier and locals to utilise the town more.
She said: “This was the best of all the options we looked at since it means businesses can trade and take deliveries freely throughout summer, while residents and visitors can get around town and park without having to worry about road works.
“Once the school holidays are over in September, we’ll head back to town with Cadent so they can finish diverting the gas main between Muirfield Drive and Brancaster Drive ahead of us completing our road and footway improvements from Muirfield Drive up to the junction with North Shore Road in spring 2022.”
A Lincoln man has helped save lives during the 2,000 medical emergencies he has attended in 10 years of working as a Community First Responder for the charity LIVES.
Bill Barber is a dedicated volunteer who has progressed to now being at Level 4. This means he can attend some of the most serious medical emergencies, including those involving children and infants.
The 60-year-old has always been interested in the medical world and, after his friend had two mini strokes on the same day in October 2010, it prompted him to start his career with LIVES. He qualified as a Community First Responder in January 2011.
It can be difficult for an ambulance to reach a patient quickly when they live in rural areas, like many Lincolnshire villages, which is why Bill continues to be part of LIVES.
He said: “To do 2,000 jobs for LIVES is a great honour and achievement. It is a great feeling to have had the opportunity to meet all of these people in their time of need.
“Along this journey, I have met so many fantastic pre-hospital colleagues, including our own LIVES medics and Community First Responders.
“I think the most rewarding aspect of being a responder is making a difference and being there for the people in your community in their time of need.
“Living in a more rural area, where ambulances can take longer to get to patients, a fast response by LIVES is vital. Minutes really do matter.”

Nikki Cooke, CEO at LIVES, said: “Bill is the ultimate LIVES responder. He’s someone who’s always there to help. We’ve received so many messages of praise and thanks for Bill from patients, families and colleagues that we’ve lost count!
“Bill has been there for so many people over the years and it is only right that we recognise this and the incredible achievement of attending 2,000 emergencies on behalf of LIVES. Thank you, Bill. We hope you’ll be responding for many more years.”
Bill receiving his Responder of the Year award from LIVES Medical Director, Dr Simon Topham, at the LIVES AGM in 2019.
LIVES turned 50 last year and continues to support its communities in Lincolnshire by responding to medical emergencies when a 999 call is made.
The charity relies on the support and generosity of the public and each year it needs to raise £1.4 million to ensure the Community First Responders and Medic Responders have the lifesaving training and equipment they need. They are taking donations online here.
Lincoln City’s LNER Stadium will be back open as a public space for anyone to come and ‘Take A Break’ later this month.
The League One club first launched ‘Take A Break’ last summer and due to popular demand it is returning after the latest lifting of lockdown restrictions, which allows people to meet in a group of up to six people.
The first Take A Break session will be held on Friday, April 23 between 11am-12.30pm at ten-minute intervals, with further dates to be announced in due course – book a free ticket here.
Tickets must be booked in advance and admittance will only be via allocated time slots, which can be selected at the time of people. The club said that one booking allows a maximum of six people from two households.
Entry is free, but you can donate to Lincoln City Foundation via a bucket collection should you wish to do so.
You can bring food, drink and other provisions into the stadium with you, but there will be no indoor facilities or toilets available.
Movement from seat to seat will not be permitted and social distancing rules and government guidelines must be followed.
The club said: “Of course, we want to make it as safe and easy as possible for you to book and enjoy your visit.
“The ‘Take A Break’ project will be strictly conducted under guidance set out to allow for time to be spent outdoors for recreation.”
