It’s a short & sweet guide to events in and around Lincolnshire this month, not because there’s not much to choose from, there’s hundreds of things happening, but because I’m currently on my annual holiday to France and ran out of time to write it before I came away, but I’ve managed to put something together in between croissants & rosé. I’ve had some great feedback from my little ‘what’s on guide’s’ so far, and didn’t want to miss not telling you about these. So if you have an event you’re organising for later in the year and would like me to share it please do get in touch
