[edit] The Showfield

The show has had several different sights in its life span. All within Epworth, Lincolnshire itself. The early years were on Battle Green, Epworth. It later moved down Scawcett Lane and moved around a couple of fields there. The Society finally found a permanent sight which is now it's home. Located on Wroot Road, the Show has been there for almost 20 years and in that time they have purchased more land and built a variety of facilities which are used by the Show and other events that take place there.
