Countryside Lincs returns to the Lincolnshire Showground this Sunday, 19th April 2026, promising a full day of hands‑on activities, live demonstrations and family entertainment celebrating Lincolnshire’s food, farming and countryside heritage.
Running from 10am to 4pm, the popular annual event brings together animals, crafts, rural skills and interactive experiences designed to inspire visitors of all ages.
This year’s programme introduces several new attractions, including an exciting Polo Display, giving families the chance to experience the speed and skill of the sport up close. The Countryside Ring will also welcome back Britain’s Got Talent favourites Trickstars, alongside the high‑energy BMX Show, returning due to popular demand.
Animal lovers will have plenty to enjoy, with rare breed livestock showcased by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, hands‑on pig walking with the Junior Pig Club and opportunities to meet friendly animals in Rand Farm Park’s petting area. Nunny’s Farm will also offer sheep and goat walking sessions throughout the day.
Indoors, the EPIC and EXO Centres will host a wide range of free interactive activities, including cookery workshops, spinning and weaving, flower posy making, LEGO challenges, Art Venturers crafts and live cooking demonstrations in the Lincolnshire Kitchen. Families can also enjoy tractor and trailer rides, circus skills, willow weaving, Little City role play and Matt’s Minibeasts and Friends animal handling.
Rosie Crust, Head of Charity at the Lincolnshire Showground, said: “Countryside Lincs is one of our favourite events of the year because it brings the countryside to life in such an engaging, hands‑on way. We’re thrilled to introduce new attractions for 2026 while keeping all the much‑loved activities that families return for year after year.”

Can't wait for Sunday! The polo display, BMX show, and pig walking sound like so much fun. Great event for teaching kids where food comes from. If you appreciate excellence and community spirit, take a look at https://derbyshirelivebusinessawards.co.uk/
Right on the heels of a stressful project dispute over misaligned URL lists with a very demanding manager, a former freelance partner sent me a link to a quiet web board. Sometime around midnight, with my thoughts still aggressively racing over quality penalties and unresolved contract terms, I opened my personal device and reached for some almonds to pick at. I was instantly struck by how minimal and clean the whole layout was, making it a wonderful retreat from the bright, flashy interface clutter that typically dominates my workspace monitor. I took a slow sip of water, stretched my tired legs out, and could feel the heavy tightness in my neck finally melting away as I scrolled through https://restorationcake.co.uk/ during those…
I recall an old agency partner leaving a note about the hahaspin.org.uk platform, right when I was desperate to decompress from a chaotic, month-long marketing campaign that required every ounce of my focus. Finding myself completely wide awake and restless long after midnight, I booted up my personal computer and slowly picked at a small bowl of mixed nuts. The clean, beautifully minimalist design was a massive surprise, offering an immediate escape from the noisy graphs and bloated data dashboards I am forced to look at daily. I fetched a fresh drink, got comfortable under a throw blanket, and felt a sudden wave of quiet relaxation take over.
Good evening everyone in the UK. A friend from work mentioned LuckyWave during our lunch break after hearing me complain about how repetitive most gaming sites feel these days. I decided to try it later that same evening while hiding from terrible weather outside. What stood out right away was that everything seemed straightforward and didn’t require endless clicking just to find something fun. I spent a couple of hours switching between games and had one of those strange sessions where every result felt completely unpredictable. At one point I was definitely losing more than I wanted and nearly closed the browser. Then out of nowhere a lucky spin changed the whole night and pushed me back into profit. I ended…
Hey, I found this platform after seeing people discuss online games during a sports thread on X. A couple of users from the UK mentioned they used it in the evenings while following football, so I decided to try BetBlast myself one quiet night. I mainly wanted something simple to use on my phone without constant loading issues. I ended up spending some time on live roulette and a few slots while watching highlights from earlier matches. The navigation felt smooth enough and moving between games didn’t feel frustrating. Overall it worked well for a relaxed evening at home.
