What to expect at the 2019 Lincolnshire Show

A display by the RAF Falcons and ‘The Martin Lewis Money Show’ are among the highlights to look out for at the 135th Lincolnshire Show this summer.

This year’s event will be held on June 19 and 20 at the Lincolnshire Showground.

Advanced tickets are £21 for adults, £17 for people aged 17-22. Child tickets are priced at £6 with under fives able to go in for free. Family tickets admitting two adults and up to three children are priced at £44. Car parking is free on both days.

The RAF Falcons delivered a special appearance at last year’s show which was themed around RAF100. They will be back again as the Falcons parachute into this year’s show with their daring aerial displays.

‘The Martin Lewis Money Show’ will also have a stall at the show. Visitors will have the chance to meet money saving expert Martin Lewis who will answer questions from the public over the two days.

The event will also feature special celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, which is the charity that organises the popular county show. The 2019 spectacle also marks 60 years of the show being held at the Showground.

CEO of Lincolnshire Showground Jayne Southall said: “In 2018 the show marked 100 years since the end of WW1, but this year it is celebrating several anniversaries of its own with the 150th anniversary of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, 60 years of the Show being held at the Showground and the tenth birthday of the Epic Centre, so we’re thrilled to be unveiling such exciting highlights!

“We were absolutely thrilled to have the RAF Falcons as part of last year’s Show to celebrate 100 years of the RAF. The reception from attendees of the show to their parachute displays was fantastic, so we’re over the moon to have them back for another year as part of our celebrations.

“We’re very much looking forward to welcoming Martin Lewis to the Showground to help our visitors with his revered money saving expertise over the two days – it’s certainly something not to be missed.”
