The magical and much-loved Christmas event will run from Friday 8 December until Saturday 23 December 2023, giving families and friends the perfect and unmissable opportunity to get into the festive spirit in the heart of Lincoln.
Visitors will be able enjoy the castle grounds bejewelled with festive lights and illuminated Christmas features, take a trip down Candy Cane Lane, and give their warmest season’s greetings to our resident castle dragons – Lucy and Norman.
Lincoln Castle has retained its popular Illuminated Wall Walk so visitors can see this historical landmark sparkling with festive lights, and take in the beautiful night-time views across the city and county.
Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, executive member for heritage and culture at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “Lincoln Castle Illuminated has been the perfect way to start to your Christmas festivities for a few years now, and this year we’re dialling up the magic with even more lights, traditional rides and some festive food and drinks.
“Autumn may just be beginning, but tickets for popular dates sell quickly so plan ahead to secure the date you want, and give yourself a magical night to look forward to.”
Lincoln Castle Illuminated runs daily from Friday 8 December to Saturday 23 December, from 4pm to 9pm at weekends, and from 5.30pm to 9pm on weekdays. Charges apply.
