Join us for Shared Ground, a special exhibition celebrating the finale of Local Landscapes & Hidden Histories.

Local Landscapes & Hidden Histories is an ambitious National Lottery Heritage Fund project that has brought people together from across Lincoln to explore and celebrate the heritage of our parks and green spaces.

Discover archive material, fascinating local history and creative work inspired by the project, showcasing the stories, landscapes and communities that make Lincoln's green spaces so special.

Throughout the four-day event, you can also enjoy creative workshops, guided heritage walks, expert talks and the launch of a brand-new book from the Survey of Lincoln exploring the history of the city's parks and green spaces.

Whether you took part in the project, attended one of its events or simply want to learn more about Lincoln's rich heritage, everyone is welcome.

Venue: The Grandstand, Saxilby Road, Lincoln, LN1 1SE
