Poacher jamboree has been running since 1977 and has always taken place at the Lincolnshire Showground. Poacher gets its name from The Lincolnshire Poacher, a famous folk song specific to Lincolnshire. Many will not know the song, but the song's refrain has remained within some people’s memories, ‘O, tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year.’ The premise of the song is a poacher who lived and died at Welton, a village located about two and a half miles away, to the east of the campsite. The subcamp theme for Poacher 1977 was also based around the song, with animals, you would find in a poacher’s bag.

Robbie White has graced our stage and social media feeds all week, but who is the man behind the microphone?

Poacher has so much on offer and it doesn’t end at 5pm, there’s still plenty to do! You can head out and explore with friends or you can take part in a variety of activities laid on every evening.

As the week goes on it’s super important to take care of yourself, whatever the weather might bring. So here are some tips, come rain or shine, to make the rest of your week as comfortable as possible.
