Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS) have once again teamed up with sponsors to support local startup businesses from any sector. All entries are welcome from gardeners, entertainers, food vendors or tech experts for their chance to ‘Grow with the Show'!
Entries are now closed for 2025!
The 2025 Winner!
The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society is thrilled to announce the winner and runner-up of the 2025 Grow with the Show competition, celebrating the best of small businesses in the region. This year’s winner is Mumento, founded by Rosie Wigan.
Mumento, is revolutionising how parents commemorate their pregnancy journeys with bespoke 3D pregnancy sculptures. Using cutting-edge scanning and printing technology, Mumento creates beautifully detailed sculptures that capture the fleeting moments of pregnancy, allowing parents to cherish them forever.
“I am delighted to be chosen as the winner of Grow with the Show! I am so passionate about creating beautiful keepsakes to treasure pregnancy and beyond, and to be able to share that with Lincoln and everyone who comes to the show is amazing. Exhibiting at the show and the exposure from this competition will help significantly in making people aware of this relatively new technology, meaning anyone can have their own sculpture capturing you exactly as you are.” – Rosie Wigan, Mumento
Rosie’s stand at the Lincolnshire Show will feature a range of sculptures she has created, giving visitors the chance to see and feel the detail of her work. She will also be offering live demonstrations of the 3D scanning process, allowing attendees to engage with the technology behind these unique keepsakes.
The Runner Up:
Castiza UK, a Spanish catering business founded by Beatriz De Arcos Marin. Castiza offers authentic, handcrafted Spanish sauces and catering services, bringing the rich flavours of Spain to Lincolnshire. Her bestselling chorizo jam has become a favourite among customers, and her business has already made a significant impact through Spanish cooking classes, themed events, and catering services for prestigious clients.
