Vintage tractor displays will head to the Bailgate for a special Father’s Day celebration this weekend.
The Lincolnshire Showground team will be bringing ‘Tractors into Town’ for a free to attend event in Castle Hill on Sunday, June 16 from 10am to 4pm.
It will also mark the last day people are able to purchase advanced tickets for the 2019 Lincolnshire Show before the standard ticket prices are introduced.
Advanced tickets for the 2019 Lincolnshire Show will be available to purchase at Sunday’s tractor event – £21 for adults, £17 for 17 to 22-year-olds, £6 for children (children under five go free) and £44 for family tickets (two adults and up to three children).
CEO of the Lincolnshire Showground Jayne Southall said: “The theme of this year’s Lincolnshire Show is ‘Making Memories’, and we’re very much looking forward to bringing ‘Tractors into Town’ for the first time this year as part of that.
“One of the main aims of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society – the charity behind the Showground – is to educate people on the importance of agriculture, farming and where our food comes from. ‘
“Tractors into Town’ will allow people young and old to explore the city centre and learn more about tractors and farming machinery for free – it’s bound to make it a Father’s Day to remember!”
A vintage fire engine used in filming for Tim Burton’s of Dumbo will be on display in the Steam area courtesy of Rand Park Farm, and Guy Martin’s WW2 tank will be returning to the show once again.

A Lincolnshire farmer says this year’s Brussel sprouts are going to be the best they’ve been for many, many years.
Robin Hancox, managing director at Lincolnshire Field Products and FreshLinc haulage firm, has been speaking out about the ‘extreme pressure’ facing the industry – but he says the weather has been kind to the country’s vegetables.
He said: “I can categorically say that the quality of the Brussel sprouts for this year’s Christmas lunch will be of the highest quality that it’s been for many, many years.”
But Mr Hancox says the pressures facing the industry mean “inevitably prices are going to have to go up”.
From 4am on Tuesday, December 7, anyone wishing to travel to the UK must show proof of a negative PCR or LFD pre-departure test, taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. This applies to vaccinated passengers and children aged 12 and above.
Nigeria will slo be added to the travel red list from 4am Monday, December 6, following 21 cases of Omicron reported in England which are linked to travel from this country, with 134 UK cases now reported in total.
New Government analysis indicates the window between infection and infectiousness may be shorter for the Omicron COVID variant, which increases the efficacy of pre-departure testing as it is more likely to identify positive cases before travel.
Airlines will be required to check for pre-departure tests alongside completed Passenger Locator Form, and passengers will not be allowed to board a flight without providing evidence of a negative test result.
Given the reduced incubation period of the Omicron variant, passengers are advised to take the pre-departure test as close as possible to their scheduled departure to the UK and no earlier than 48 hours before travelling.
The Government said these additional measures are vital to delay the import of additional cases and slow the rise in cases within the UK.
All temporary measures will be reviewed after three weeks to ensure that they remain necessary and proportionate, and this will take place on December 20.
