We would like to reassure all attending The Lincolnshire Show that visitor safety is a number one priority for us and we work with the Police to continually review the show.
We have robust event management and contingency plans which cover a vast number of different scenarios that have been created in conjunction with the Police and other official bodies.
Although there is no intelligence to indicate an increased risk at the show, the Police are continually monitoring the situation and we are taking their advice and guidance. We ask our visitors to help us out with the following specifics:
Please be ready to show all your tickets, passes or badge when asked.
Please ensure that if you have a vehicle pass, it is correctly displayed in your windscreen before approaching the carpark/showground entrance.
Please report anything suspicious to, the police, a steward or Showground staff member.
Please help us by complying swiftly with any requests from stewards or staff member.
The Lincolnshire Show is traditionally an agricultural show, and over its 139 year history, it's something that has remained really important to us.
We understand that some people work midweek, and that children are at school and because of that, not everybody can attend. We work with schools across the county on the Schools' Challenge, educational trips and tours and welcome over 5,000 school children each year, and we encourage parents that would like to bring their children along to speak with their school as the Lincolnshire Show is widely thought of as an educational event.
If we were to move the Show to weekend dates, it would be a very different type of event as we wouldn't have the same high level of agricultural and trade support. Unfortunately, many shows that have moved to weekends no longer take place, or with significantly reduced visitor numbers.
Event Mobility (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) will be providing electric mobility scooters and manual wheelchairs at this event for the use of mobility impaired, disabled and elderly visitors.
