Coronation will be screened live at Lincoln Castle, with free entry

Throughout the bank holiday weekend, the grounds of Lincoln Castle grounds will be free to enter, with a big screen showing the events, live entertainment, fairground attractions, and food and drink vendors.

On Saturday 6 May BBC coverage of the coronation itself will be screened live, then on Sunday 7 May, there’s to be The Coronation Big Lunch. Visitors can bring a picnic or pick up something from Barney’s Churros, Pie-O-Neers or the on-site café. There’s also drinks on offer from a special horsebox bar provided by the Cocktail Gift Shop on Steep Hill.

On Sunday evening, the grounds will reopen from 7pm for the screening of the Coronation Concert live from Windsor Castle. A free ticket is required for this event – available here: www.lincolncastle.com/events.

On Monday 8 May, it’s the Big Help Out and our own volunteer group, Friends of Lincoln Castle, will be showcasing their volunteering opportunities and giving visitors the chance to ‘try before they apply’.

Stephanie Beecher, events officer at Lincoln Castle, said: “Lincoln Castle is often described as ‘the jewel in Lincoln’s crown’, so what better place to celebrate the crowning of our new monarch!

“Over the last few years, the castle grounds have become a space for the community to gather and mark these big national events – from cheering on England in the Euro final, to commemorating the life and reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II. We’re continuing that tradition and welcoming residents and visitors to soak in the atmosphere at Lincoln Castle for the coronation this May.”

Plan your visit to Lincoln Castle at www.lincolncastle.com. Entry to the grounds is free. Charges apply for the fairground rides, medieval wall walk, Victorian prison and Magna Carta.
