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

I forget how lovely autumn is until it's all of a sudden here; the leaves are turning, the air’s got that crisp edge, but there are still plenty of gorgeous days to enjoy before the clocks change at the end of the month & there's plenty to choose from in this month's Follie guide; we head strait in to a first weekend of culture, crafts & physical tests of endurance with the Lincoln Half Marathon. Then the weekend after you can fill your boots at the ever-popular Sausage Festival, celebrating the world famous Lincolnshire Sausage. And as the nights draw in, things take a spookier turn with pumpkin cannons, scarecrows, monstersm ghost trains and an outdoor Halloween cinema to finish the month with a bit of fun (and a few chills!).
