Picture special: Thousands enjoy the sunshine at Woodhall Spa's Country Show

On Saturday, the organisers - and the event site - were drenched by heavy rain.

But, just 24 hours later, the sun came out and around 4,000 people turned up to one of the area’s most popular events.

Amy Sharpe, a member of the show committee, told the News: “Everyone was a bit anxious on Saturday but we couldn’t have had better weather on the day.

“It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves - especially families.

“We had something for everyone and all the hard work was worthwhile. In fact, we’re already planning next year.”

Donations will be made to various local organisations, while a new feature this year has seen a bursary set up for anyone aged between 16-28 who is training for a career in agriculture or rural crafts.
