It was known as the Lincolnshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture alongside its sister site of Caythorpe Court near Grantham, before being renamed in 2007.

With the opening of the Showground campus in September 2015, the college began to offer degree courses, as well as subjects such as Sport, Health and Social Care and Childcare, Food and Public Services.

[2] The second phase of the campus, opened in September 2016,[3] includes the Agri-Tech Health and Nutrition Centre, incorporating specialist laboratories and food science facilities, and the Sports and Health Science Centre, which includes a fully equipped fitness suite, Olympic-standard mixed use sports hall and flood-lit, all-weather pitch.

The picturesque Old Hall, positioned in front of the lake and completed in 1744 could be described as the landmark of the 200 hectare grounds of both broadleaf woodland and agricultural land.

The campus also has a successful Cleveland Bay breeding programme, their main stallion being their own home bred Lindon Principle whom two of the Queens mares have been put in foal to.
