Here at The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, we’re dedicated to educating our future generations about food, farming and the countryside while continuing to support and encourage the agricultural community around us.
The Society’s education team plan a year-round calendar of events to inspire and engage children of all ages with food and farming in Lincolnshire.
One of the education team’s main focuses is to invite Schools to take their learning out of the classroom to develop their knowledge and understanding about where their food comes from and how it’s produced.
Farming In the Classroom
We’re pleased to be able to offer local Schools funding to contribute towards transport costs and giving school groups the opportunity to visit farms and other sites related to agriculture.
Schools Funding
The funding is also available to help Lincolnshire schools develop their own gardens and allotments.
To be considered for a grant, Lincolnshire schools will be asked to submit a simple outline of the proposed visit, including the purpose, age range of pupils and numbers involved and detail how the curriculum will be enriched by the visit. A member of the team will then send you the application form if appropriate.

Learning and Discovery at the Showground
We are a charity that is passionate about agricultural education and learning.
Educational Partnerships
As well as arranging our own education initiatives and events, we also work with local educational establishments to support their programmes each year too!
We’re building a great relationship with the University of Lincoln by supporting the students with their studies from first year through to final year students. Projects include working alongside our Showground Marketing team to analyse the website for functionality and appeal, a field trip and a consultancy project to bridge the gap between the classroom and industry to help prepare students for future employability.
We work alongside LGTA (Lincoln Group Training Association) in conjunction with CITB and Lincolnshire & Rutland EBP to hold a career taster event for Lincolnshire school children. For three days each year, the Showground is converted into a workshop for more than 20 different activities, giving students an insight into the construction industry from the best in the business.
