Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal is set to attend this year’s Lincolnshire Show, which is back for the 140th time this summer.

The event, taking place on 18th and 19th June, is best-known for its livestock and equine competitions.

Organisers have confirmed Princess Anne, who previously served as President of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society and now holds a Lifetime Membership, will attend the Show on Wednesday 18th June.

Organised by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS), a charity dedicated to championing the importance of food, farming and the countryside, the Lincolnshire Show draws 60,000 visitors every year.

That includes 6,000 school children and over 500 exhibitors.

Television presenter Matt Baker is also due to make a guest appearance on the second day of the event.

Charlotte Powell, Chief Executive of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, said:

“The Lincolnshire Show is always a significant event for the county, but it feels extra special this time as we celebrate our 140th Show.

“From the very first Show in 1869, the event has been a source of pride and celebration for everyone involved with the county of Lincolnshire, and we can’t wait for everyone to see all the hard work that has gone into this year’s event.

“It will be an absolute pleasure and honour to welcome Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal and Matt Baker MBE as guests for this year’s Show, as we once again celebrate all things Lincolnshire with tens of thousands of visitors.

“There will be familiar favourites, new attractions, exhibitors offering tasty local food and drink, and activities for all the family to enjoy. Whether it’s the vast range of farm animals and competitions that pique your interest, or the jaw-dropping displays and demonstrations, the 2025 Lincolnshire Show has something for everyone!

“We look forward to welcoming you all to what is sure to be another unforgettable Lincolnshire Show.”
