There’s plenty to do this year,with a raft of exciting events havingtaken placed over the year. The LincolnCastle has now finished its vastrenovation, and is an exciting option forthose who want to see a little of thecounty’s ancient history. Walk themedieval walls, explore towers anddungeons – or even visit the iconicMagna Carta on its 800th year. Don’t forget to break up the trip byvisiting some of the fantasticindependent retailers just outside thecastle too. Fromthose who adorn theiconic Bailgate street,down Steep Hill andeven into the HighStreet of Lincoln itself.There’s no betterplace to pick up somelast minute gifts or, forthe more organised, achance to simplypamper yourself for achange. By this point thelights in Lincoln will be up, anddecorations will be in place, leaving thecity a magical location for the wholefamily, or even just to visit for a littlerelaxation. For those who want to spenda little more time, perhaps even a nightor two, there are plenty of fantastichotels to choose from – many of whichalso serve full course dinners from theirown restaurants.

Of course as Christmas approaches there is also theChristmas Market to consider, with more than 250 stalls,traditional entertainment and delicacies from across theglobe, Britain’s best Christmas market brings in £10million per year and showcases Lincoln’s Cathedral,medieval castle and Steep Hill, which was previouslynamed the UK’s Greatest Street.If the market isn’t something of interest then there isalways the option to visit the Lincoln Ice Rink, which isa decorated, outdoor ice rink set in the heart of the cityitself. It’s also worth noting that penguin-shapedskating aids are available for children, which is a goodway to teach them how to skate in the first place. Lincolnshire’s “capital city” is always a fabulous placeto visit – with fabulous attractions offering a fresh edgeto its history.
