Touch wood, despite the current wet weather Saturday is expected to look a lot brighter and drier which is a perfect excuse to leave your house and make the trip to the Lincolnshire Showground.
A variety of alcohol stalls will be located across the festival, so come along with your family and friends and enjoy Pistons in the Park, in -hopefully- the nice sunshine.
However, there is also indoor attractions in case the clouds do come out for a few minutes.

If you strictly believe in that life is all about two wheels then you can come to Pistons and park for free and there is a designated ‘Two Wheels Only’ display.
Parking for disabled customers is also free and for standard cars it is £5.

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
