Some of the city’s main events include, the world famous Lincoln Christmas Market, The Lincoln 10k, The Lincoln Grand Prix and the Lincoln Book Festival.

Of course, a visit to Lincoln cannot be complete without a visit to Lincoln Cathedral.  This awe-inspiring architectural feat was once the tallest building in the world and is at the centre of the city’s Cathedral Quarter, just a Lincolnshire Limestone’s throw away from Lincoln Castle.  To delve into the city and county’s history even further, spend some time at The Collection or the Museum of Lincolnshire Life.
