The second session is How to… with panellists offering ideas around personal and business support.

“We are linking with many other Lincolnshire networking groups and organisations including the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, People in Property in Lincoln, Team Lincolnshire and the Lincoln Business Club to encourage all their members and attendees to join us next week. We could have as many as 1000 people join us on the day.

The 136th Lincolnshire Show will take place on 24 June on an online platform.The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society made the decision to cancel the traditional show earlier this year due to COVID-19, but will now replicate the typical show format in an online world. Visitors to the website can explore six different zones including Main Ring and Aviation, Education Zone, Kitchen and Food Court, Trade Exhibitors, Agriculture Zone and Countryside Area.

Jayne Southall, CEO of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, said: “The Lincolnshire Show has become one of the county’s most well-loved events over the years. With more than 60,000 people attending annually it’s the perfect place to showcase the incredible people, local businesses and products the area has to offer – and we hope that the online show will provide an equally valuable platform. The online show has proved really popular so far – we have more than 1000 people registered for tickets already. We have an action-packed virtual show, featuring local exhibitors, cookery demonstrations, educational and agricultural content, and entertainment.

“The Lincolnshire Show Digital Breakfast and Community Conference adds another big element to what we are doing on 24 June. We are delighted to be working with Steff and his dynamic team in the delivery.”

The online show, taking place virtually on 24 June, will recognise the best of rural Lincolnshire with an eclectic mix of entertainment, food, shopping and agriculture.

The Lincolnshire Showground team is partnering with CityX, Gusto Homes, Cartwright Communications and TRS Design to help bring the Lincolnshire Show Online to life. Sponsors include Woldmarsh Producers Ltd, Branston Ltd, Lincolnshire County Council, Harper Adams University, Thompson & Richardson and Duckworth Motor Group. 

The Lincolnshire Show Online is also teaming up with BBC Radio Lincolnshire. BBC Radio Lincolnshire usually relocates to the showground for the two show days every year, bringing each of its programmes live from the show. This year the radio station will be re-creating the feel good factor, fun and atmosphere of the show as part of a dedicated day of broadcasting celebrating the Lincolnshire Show featuring people who normally visit, exhibit or help run the event.

People who are out and about on the day of the Lincolnshire Show Online can listen to BBC Radio Lincolnshire on 94.9FM, DAB, Freeview, via the BBC Sounds app or online at www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_lincolnshire
