The carnival week of festivities will kick off with the Parade on Sunday, August 11th at 1pm. We invite businesses, charities, youth groups, and friends and family groups to join in the fun. The theme for this year is ‘At the Seaside,’ so there are plenty of opportunities for props and dressing up. Our main sponsor, Hooper Haulage, still has some vehicles available for floats, or you can decorate a car, bike, or even walk.

The fun continues on Monday with the Pet and Dog Show. Bring your furry friends to compete in various categories and show off their best tricks and costumes. It’s a paw-some way to celebrate the carnival with your pets!

On Tuesday, join us for a day packed with activities. A Treasure Hunt that will take you on an adventure around town. Later, dress to impress in our Fancy Dress competition. The Baby Show in the afternoon will be a delightful event, showcasing the cutest babies in town. In the evening, don’t miss the just sing Choir!

Wednesday is our 999 Day and throughout the day, enjoy performances by various Dance Groups, showcasing local flair.

Thursday is all about active fun with our Family Sports Day. Compete in a range of sports and games suitable for all ages, culminating in the much-anticipated Mascot Race. Watch as local mascots battle it out in a hilarious and entertaining race to the finish line.

Friday wraps up the week with our Classic Cars Event, a must-see for automobile enthusiasts. Marvel at the stunning collection of vintage and classic cars on display. In the evening, the Rock Choir will take the stage, ending the week on a high note with an energetic and lively performance.

We look forward to seeing you at the carnival and joining in the week of festivities!

The Spilsby Show is an annual event, held on the second Sunday of July. The Spilsby Show is organised by a group of dedicated volunteers hoping to give visitors a great day out with their family and friends.

The proceeds of the Spilsby go to local charities and other worthwhile organisations as agreed by the committee annually and requests from local organisations are considered for donations.

Earliest records show that the event began in 1880 and was held over two days until 1994 when it became the one day event as it is now and has been held on the Spilsby Recreation Ground since 2002. After a three year break due to Covid we bounced back in 2023 to a successful show so we welcome you all back again this year.

If you would like to help in the running, organising or setting up of our show please contact us.
