Wrangle has had a village show on and off since the late 1800’s, starting firstly as more of a ploughing match in the field opposite where it is held today.

There have been several breaks due to the World Wars, the Foot & Mouth outbreak and, more recently, the Covid outbreak. One of the first Lincolnshire Shows was held in Wrangle

Wrangle Show, in its current format, was revived after the Queens Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977. Fundraising events, such as jumble sales, cheese and wine evenings were held and the show was revived in 1978 by quite a large committee of local people..

There have been many different aspects to the show since its revival; at one time there was a Wrangle Beauty Queen (some of whom still live in the village), grass track cycle racing (the Pembleton family have competed at the show), tug of war, poultry and goat shows, local schools decorated trailer competition, 10 mile road race, rural crafts marquee and lots more.

The committee like to put something back into the village and have, over the years, donated money to village organisations, bought and maintain the defibrillator on the front of the Parish Hall.

The Wrangle village sign was designed and part funded by The Wrangle Show Committee; The Parish Council also funded the sign.

The village sign explained:
 
The Marquee: recognises the Show Committee’s contribution..
 
Wildfowling was an important occupation in the area – though the Canada geese depicted are the manufacturer’s choice.
 
The Church, of course, stands proud as the centrepiece and is our oldest building.
 
The Ploughman, with his shire horse depicts farming, the main occupation in the parish, and the display of vegetables and cereals emphasises the supreme quality of the wonderful fertile soil in our village. The ‘toft’ land is unsurpassed anywhere.

The Mill: The black mill is Toft Mill and a short distance to the southeast is Wrangle Mill.

The Ship: Wrangle once had a harbour, about half a mile south of the church. King John’s navy had trouble controlling sea traffic on the east coast. He asked all the ports on this coast to provide what ships and men they could to help out. Wrangle provided a ship and eight men, as did Wainfleet, and London just managed to do the same. King John, in recognition of this, granted Wrangle a Saturday Market Charter dated 1st August 1205. This is still in effect today!
 
Stop for a while and admire the craftsmanship, and perhaps have a rest on the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee bench, located nearby.
