The 140th Lincolnshire Show delivered another unforgettable celebration of rural life this week, welcoming an estimated 60,000 visitors over two days. Among the bustling attractions in the West Lindsey District Council marquee, one interactive feature stood out for its color, excitement, and non-stop crowd engagement—the Prize Wheel.

Set up by Savoy Cinema to celebrate the upcoming opening of their new location in Gainsborough, the Prize Wheel added an extra layer of fun and anticipation to the event. Visitors lined up to take their turn spinning for a chance to win everything from movie tickets to popcorn, creating a buzz that lasted from morning to evening.

A Wheel of Wonder for All Ages

More than just a giveaway, the Prize Wheel provided a moment of joy for every age group. Its bright design and satisfying “click-click-click” as it spun captured the attention of passersby, while its simple, tactile nature made it universally accessible—from children on tiptoes to grandparents trying their luck.

In a marquee filled with innovation—like STEPtoFusion’s robot dogs and the Lincolnshire Waste Partnership’s new food waste lorry—the Prize Wheel offered a playful break that still served a purpose: building brand awareness and community connection for Savoy Cinema.

Coun Matthew Boles, Chairman of West Lindsey District Council, praised the variety and vibrancy of the marquee: “It was great to have Savoy Cinema at our stand as they promote the new cinema opening in Gainsborough this summer—an exciting development for the district that will bring more leisure and entertainment to our community.”

Simple, Effective, and Unforgettable

What made the Prize Wheel such a hit at the Lincolnshire Show was its blend of simplicity and impact. It didn’t rely on screens, apps, or gadgets—just a durable, eye-catching spinning wheel that offered instant rewards and instant smiles.

Events like the Lincolnshire Show thrive on experiences that engage, entertain, and create memories. The Prize Wheel delivered on all three. As Gainsborough continues to grow and evolve, it’s fitting that something as classic and community-friendly as a spin-to-win game helped create a moment of connection at one of the region’s most cherished events.

From robot dogs to DIY wands with Cinderella, the 140th Lincolnshire Show had it all—but it’s safe to say that, for many, the real magic came with the satisfying spin of the Prize Wheel.
