Spilsby is counting down the days until the 2018 Spilsby Show.
There is no better way to spend a summers day than at a local show. They are always bright, cheerful and full of entertaining and interesting exhibits for the whole family.
The Spilsby Show has a long established tradition of providing something for the entire family and this year is no exception. This popular annual event is held each year on the second Sunday of July and this year it takes place on Sunday 8th July, with the gates opening at 10:00am.
The event has become one of the most popular events in the local calendar and is held on the Spilsby Recreation Ground, off Ancaster Avenue in Spilsby – just off the main A16.
The Spilsby Show gives local charities and organisations the opportunity to make people aware of their good work and help promote their activities to thousands of visitors. A wide range of attractions will be attending this year’s Show, providing everyone with a vast array of entertainment. There are vintage vehicles, tractors, oil engines, a huge expanded indoor trade stand marquee, model and craft marquee as well as over 100 outdoor trade stands – all offering something different.
There is also the very popular Heavy Horse Show, 6 mile road race and the return of the Companion Dog Show. A variety of events also take place in the main ring, with displays from local organisations, a march by members of the Royal British Legion and the Grand Parade – when many vintage exhibits take to the main arena riding round in front of the crowds. There is also musical entertainment by Skegness Silver Band and various other local groups.
The organisers are also welcoming displays by local history groups, Boston Veteran Cycles, County Linx Radio, Spilsby Fire Brigade and Lincolnshire Police. The event also has a popular Farmers Market, promoting locally sourced goods and a wide range of other specialist products.
Entry is just £4 for adults, £3 for concessions and just £2 for children. There is so much to see and do. Don’t miss this year’s Show – it promises to be a truly memorable day! For more information on the event, timings and poster check out our Spilsby Show 2018 page!
