The Perfect Family-Friendly Sunday! - Countryside Lincs returns this April! 17 Feb

Returning to the Lincolnshire Showground this year on Sunday 14th April, 10am – 4pm.

Hosted by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society whose objectives are to educate the County about food, farming, and a sustainable environment. Countryside Lincs does just that with an action-packed day filled with interactive learning experiences, exciting displays, and demonstrations. This memorable and immersive day is a great opportunity to get the whole family together, get outside and celebrate the arrival of spring.

With a wonderful variety of activities and attractions, there really is something for everyone; whether it’s a walk with an alpaca, taking a tractor and trailer ride around the Showground, taking part in a spot of archery, learning some circus skills, or meeting your favourite farmyard animals in the petting zone!

If flowers are more your thing head over to our Floral Art & Design Zone to marvel at the blooming brilliant displays. New for 2024, we are delighted to collaborate with the North Midlands Area of the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies (NAFAS), who are hosting their Area Show with us – the theme is ‘JOY – Celebrating the joy that flowers bring’.

Rosie Crust, Head of Charity says “Countryside Lincs 2024 promises to be an exciting and unforgettable event. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the arrival of spring, and to enjoy some fantastic family fun; exploring food, farming, and the countryside."
