The Great Exhibition of Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire's very first ‘Great Exhibition’, which was held on 22 October 2025, showcased the very best the county has to offer.

The brainchild of the elected Mayor, Dame Andrea took inspiration from the famous Great Exhibition of 1851, which was held as the Industrial Revolution propelled Victorian Britain into the greatest power of the time. 

She said: “Setting up this event was a pledge I made when elected and I am delighted that it’s become a reality." She said the aim had been to shine a light on 'our amazing county and all that we have to offer'. "We are truly world-leading in some key industry sectors and have extraordinary potential for inward investment and innovation."

The aspiration had been for this to be the biggest and widest reaching event of this type ever delivered in Greater Lincolnshire.  

She added: "I see this becoming a flagship annual event showcasing all that is great about Lincolnshire.”
