We were thrilled to welcome over 1,000 Key Stage 2 students to the Lincolnshire Showground this week for a two-day celebration of everything that makes Lincolnshire special. From farming and food to wildlife and wellbeing, we've hosted a range of educational activities.

🌾 Wilder at Doddington Hall and Gardens
🥚Fairburns Eggs
🍓 Dyson Farming

🎉 Happy Lincolnshire Day!

We’re proud to celebrate our county’s heritage by giving back to the community 💚

The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS) has donated a wide range of essential food items to the Lincoln Food Bank. From potatoes from Branston Ltd to pasta, tea to tinned goods, it all goes to helping families across Lincolnshire who are facing food insecurity.

Hear from Chantelle Claxton at Lincoln Foodbank and Restore Lincoln about how you can support their vital work. Donating food helps, but it doesn’t stop there — they also offer education, wellbeing, and crisis support programmes.

💚 A huge thank you to our staff and trustees for making this happen.
