Lincolnshire’s big day out!

The sun shone on the crowds for both days of this year’s Lincolnshire Show, which celebrated its 139th year with almost 60,000 visitors in attendance.

Lincolnshire Life welcomed our partners Downtown and Skendleby Hall to the stand with their fabulous display of garden furniture and gorgeous floral displays, which were a real hit with visitors.

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

The winner of the star prize, a wheelbarrow hamper worth £600 donated courtesy of Downtown, was Elaine Butler. Congratulations, Elaine! We are confident you will already be making great use of your prize this summer. Our other winners are listed below.
