140th Lincolnshire Show

Brilliant sunshine for both days welcomed record crowds to the Showground at Grange de Lings near Lincoln for the 140th Lincolnshire Show. HRH Princess Anne visited the first day of the Show and the Red Arrows provided a spectacular flypast.

Lincolnshire Life welcomed our partners Downtown and Skendleby Hall to the stand with their fabulous display of garden furniture and gorgeous floral displays.

Dom Franks, the Lincolnshire based food influencer, cooked in the Lincolnshire Kitchen along with Richie Stamp-Mason, chef/patron of The Red Lion at Raithby. Dom then visited the Lincolnshire Life stand to sign copies of his new cookbook, Upside Down Cooking. The winner of the collection of kitchen accessories, donated by Downtown was C Poppleton.

It was great to welcome and meet so many people and especially those of you who entered our fantastic competitions.

The winner of the star prize, a hamper which was donated courtesy of Downtown, was Gillian Strangeway. Congratulations! Our other winners are listed below.
