Shopping
More than 600 traders are set to be at the Lincolnshire Show with traders travelling from as far as Australia.
The traders will be selling everything from clothes, jewellery and shoes to cars, lawnmowers and hot tubs.
Food
Food and drink will be available throughout the day with local chefs also giving demonstrations.
Visitors can stop off for a bacon, sausage and egg sandwich from the hot food court in the morning, or take a break at lunchtime and grab a snack from the vast array of street food.
Be sure to checkout the stalls selling meat and cheeses, jams, chutneys and local ales.
The Floral Art Competition
The show title for 2016 is Cultural Cocktail. Here exhibitors will take part in a variety of competitions during both days of the event at the horticultural area.
Exhibitors in the craft class, ‘Masquerade’, are tasked with making a mask from plant material.
The Aviation Zone
This year sees the introduction of the Aviation Zone, a new area sponsored by Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises. Here visitors can learn about Lincolnshire’s aviation history.
Experts from a number of aviation heritage centres, including the team behind the Intentional Bomber Centre, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and local RAF representatives, will be here to speak to visitors.
