Will you be flying the flag for Lincolnshire Day? Here's how you can celebrate

Lincolnshire Day, held annually on October 1st, commemorates the Lincolnshire Uprising, a significant Tudor-era rebellion that began on this date in 1536. This anti-government revolt in Louth was a major catalyst for the larger Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion and marked a time of intense public anger against Henry VIII's church reforms.

The two-day celebration is being organised by The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society features heritage, food, farming and countryside education,
