Lincolnshire Food & Gift Fair
Saturday 28 November – Sunday 29 November 2026
Lincolnshire Showground, Grange de Lings, Lincolnshire(LN2 2NA)
Festive shopping fills the Lincolnshire Showground's two indoor halls, just off the A15 north of Lincoln, when the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, which is a charity, holds its Lincolnshire Food & Gift Fair. A covered walkway links the halls, and more than 150 stands offer handmade crafts, gifts and local food and drink. The Lincolnshire Kitchen Stage has live cooking, the Food Walk has street food, coffee and hot chocolate, and musicians, choirs and community groups from the area perform during the day. On the EPIC Centre's upper floor, Santa's Workshop has seasonal crafts and activities for children, free with a child ticket. Parking is free, and Sunday opens with a Quiet Hour of paused music and dimmed lights.

Notes
The Showground says its EXO and EPIC buildings were built flat on the ground floors and lists lift access, wide opening doors, accessible toilets, a Changing Places toilet in the EXO Centre and disabled parking bays. These come from the Showground's general accessibility information rather than a note about the fair. Guests who need a carer get one free Carer/Personal Assistant ticket with supporting documentation. Sunday 9 to 10am is a Quiet Hour with no music, announcements or performances and dimmed lighting.

Where is the fair?
At Lincolnshire Showground, Grange de Lings, Lincoln, LN2 2NA. The Showground says it is four miles north of Lincoln, and the main entrance is at Gate 1, immediately off the A15. The fair is held across two indoor halls connected by a covered walkway.

More than 150 exhibitors selling artisan crafts, local food and drink and gifts. There is a Food Walk of street food and food vans, live cooking demonstrations on the Lincolnshire Kitchen Stage, and live performances from local choirs, musicians and community groups through the day. Santa's Workshop is free, upstairs in the EPIC Centre, with seasonal crafts and activities for children.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
No. The Showground says that as this is a food event, only food bought from its catering concessions can be eaten. The Food Walk has street food, food vans, coffees and hot chocolates.
Can I pay by card, and can I leave and come back?
The Showground advises bringing both cash and a card, as not every trader takes both. Cashback is not available. A stamp is provided to anyone who wants to leave and re-enter on the same day.
Are dogs allowed?
No. The fair is held indoors, so dogs are not allowed. If you need to bring an assistance dog, the Showground may ask for evidence to support this.
Is the fair accessible?
The Showground says its EXO and EPIC buildings were built flat on the ground floors, and it lists lift access, wide opening doors, accessible toilets, a Changing Places toilet in the EXO Centre (opposite the EPIC Centre) and disabled parking bays. Guests who need a carer get one Carer/Personal Assistant ticket at no extra charge: supporting documentation is needed, and the ticket is requested after a valid ticket purchase. Sunday's first hour (9 to 10am) is a Quiet Hour with no music, announcements or performances and dimmed lighting.
Is there anything I should know about busy times?
The Showground may carry out security checks at the entrance, and at busy times it might pause entry or introduce a one-way system to manage crowds.

Parking is free on site, with disabled parking available.
