LOCAL EVENTS GUIDE

With spring starting to peek through the showers, there are lots of gorgeous local events popping up both indoors and outdoors this month. As well as International Women's Day on the 8th March and Mother's Day on the 15th March, there's a whole host of great little reasons to get out and about; from local farmers markets & vintage fairs, health & wellbeing events and fun evenings to get your creative hat on.



Discover a unique variety of hand-crafted items from local artists at the Lincoln Makers' Market.

The Lincoln Makers’ Market is a monthly street market held at Castle Square, in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter.

Hosted by a talented group of local artists and makers, the market features an abundance of stalls, offering artwork, crafts, homeware, jewellery and more.
Enjoy a drink whilst you browse and shop all the alternative wares and risqué crafts on offer across 2 rooms jam packed full of independent businesses. The perfect one stop shop for gifting, treating yourself, good food and vibes!

Join the The Lincoln Imporium for a cosy, joy-filled workshop where you can paint your very own Lincoln Imp in a choice of colours and finishes, enjoying complimentary tea and coffee – all under the watchful eye of one of friendly Imp Catchers.

Pizza, prosecco, and plant hangers — the perfect excuse for a night out with a creative twist.

Join Jenny from Tied by Juniper for a relaxed, beginner-friendly macramé workshop where you'll catch up, unwind, and leave with something you made yourself.

Your ticket includes pizza and a glass of prosecco along with all the materials and guidance needed to make your plant hanger, giving you time to pause, chat, and enjoy the moment before finishing your handmade piece

Taking place on the third Saturday of every month, the Lincoln Farmers Market is packed with local produce and delicious treats. Set in the magnificent shadows of Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle

Hello lovely people - just a quick note from me to say that December’s What’s On guide is taking a tiny pause this month. It’s the busiest, sparkliest time of year and sometimes even my best-laid plans have to shuffle a little!


But don’t worry - there is still lots of loveliness happening in uphill Lincoln. This weekend brings the magical Lincoln Ice Adventure, fingers crossed for kind weather - although, even in last year’s rain it was absolutely buzzing and beautiful. Expect choirs singing, traditional steam organ music & carousel, mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, and all those cosy festive touches that make December in Lincoln feel so special.


The Advent Wreath Festival continues at St Mary Magdalene Church, as does Lincoln Castle Illuminated. Plus, there's still late night shopping throughout December here at Follie and across a number of other wonderful businesses in uphill Lincoln - perfect for a twinkly evening wander.


I've also added some helpful links below, so you can find all details you need for many more events through the festive season. And of course, the little pink shop is open every day, full of Christmas loveliness whenever you fancy popping by. 💗
