Welcome to our perfectly lovely corner of Lincoln!

 

Our guide is your treasure map to discovering the hidden gems of The Bailgate area, our special Cathedral City and to the Lincolnshire countryside beyond. It’s where we share what we love about living here; the quaint market days, local fairs, historical events & enchanting gatherings. The places we like to visit, things we’d like to do, Follie events & the adventures we’ve been on.... inspiring us to create memories together.

LOCAL EVENTS GUIDE

Between the sunshine, the heat, and a slightly over-enthusiastic barbecue at the weekend (we’ve all been there!), it’s taken me a moment to pull this guide together - but here is Follie's compact guide to what's on this month.


Hopefully the warm weather sticks around as we head into July and the start of the summer holidays. If you’re planning to spend some time in and around Lincoln this month, here are a few lovely things to do, see, and enjoy…

As with every Follie What’s On Guide, there will always be events I might not know about - so if I’ve missed something, please do let me know and I’ll happily share it. And of course, we don’t all have the same interests, so here are a few brilliant online resources to help you discover what else is going on in our great big, brilliant county.


The days are getting longer, the calender is filling up and Lincolnshire is officially out to play this month. June brings all the things we do brilliantly; county shows, brass bands, charity tractor runs & inflatable races, soapbox karts tearing over cobbles, big-name concerts, local history exhibitions, community fetes and summer fairs - there’s something happening in every corner. I’ve done my best to narrow down a few of our favourite picks and I’m definitely planning to make it to at least a couple. How about you?
