The rural district of South Holland is located in the county of Lincolnshire. It is a small district the county, with ca. 750 square kilometres (ca. 290 square miles) and Spalding is its main market town, famous for its annual flower festival.

South Holland District Council initiated a scheme to bring classical music to the area in 2007 and the LMP put in the successful bid that is supported by Orchestras Live and Arts Council England. By touring in South Holland the LMP hopes to become part of the community by performing in schools, day centres and community centres as well as evening concerts.

The LMP launched the residency in May 2008 with a full orchestral concert in the South Holland Centre. This residency follows on the success of the LMP's residency in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
