The Lincolnshire Showground is an agricultural showground[1] and exhibition centre[2][3] built in 1959[4] in North Carlton, north of Lincoln in England.[5] It is the chief exhibition centre of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society,[6] and has been used for large events such as LincsFest,[7] the Lincolnshire Farming Conference,[8] Poacher International Jamboree for scouts and guides, and as a vaccination centre during the COVID-19 crisis in England.[9][10][11]

The venue incorporates the EPIC exhibition centre and a woodland.[12][13]
