Two major weekend events are being staged at Lincoln Castle this month.
The first evokes the spirit of 1940s Britain with two days of vintage performances, traditional fairground rides and games within the castle grounds, in partnership with Lincoln’s annual 1940s Weekend on July 22 and 23.
On the following weekend of July 29 and 30 the historic venue will be filled with an eclectic mix of live music from the bandstand including an ABBA tribute act, The Lincoln Ukelele Band and Steampunk favourite Alice Strange.
This weekend will also be dog friendly weekend, so bring your whole family for a PAWsome day out.
Over the two weekends visitors can fill up on some of the best food and drink from across Lincolnshire including local craft ales and gins; hog roast, wood-fired pizza and barbecue; churros, doughnuts and other sweet treats; and a fully licenced bar from Ferry Ales Brewery.
Stephanie Beecher, Lincoln Castle events officer, said: “Set against the backdrop of the Castle’s medieval walls, these weekends provide the perfect opportunity to gather with friends and family whilst enjoying some of our county’s very best food and drink.
“Lincoln’s 1940s Weekend seems to be growing year on year, and we’re pleased to be joining in the nostalgic fun this year and hosting the amazing vintage acts. The celebration of Lincolnshire food and drink continues the following weekend, with even more talented live entertainers performing over the two days.
“Of course, our dragon duo, Lucy and Norman, will be watching over the fun, so be sure to say hello to them too!”
The grounds are free to enter over both weekends, or you can make the most of it with a Lincoln Castle day ticket to enjoy the Medieval Wall Walk, Victorian Prison and Magna Carta.
