Summer in Lincoln

With a host of award-winning attractions to experience, an abundance of green spaces to explore and a packed programme of events to enjoy, Lincoln is the perfect city for a summer break. 

Although Lincoln is a year-round destination, the city really comes alive during the summer months. With the school holidays in full swing, you will find a variety of family-friendly things to do both in and around the city. Heritage sites like Tattershall Castle, Belton Estate and Gunby Hall all host summer activities for children, and you will find even more to do at attractions like Rand Farm Park and Uncle Henry’s. 

When the sun is shining, you will have the chance to experience Lincoln’s attractions in new and unique ways. On a clear day, you can enjoy the most amazing views from the Lincoln Castle Wall Walk - and explore the ruins of the Medieval Bishop’s Palace with no fear of rain! 

With the promise of good weather, summer is one of the best seasons to join one of Lincoln’s sightseeing tours. Lincoln Free Walking Tour will take you on a journey through time, whilst the Open-Top Tour Bus and the Brayford Belle will allow you to see the city from a new perspective. 

A sunny day will also give you a chance to explore some of Lincoln’s parks and gardens. Full of seasonal blooms and excellent views, these tranquil green spaces are the perfect place to soak up some rays. Pack a picnic and stay all day, or head to one of Lincoln’s many restaurants for a bite to eat. You will find plenty of alfresco dining areas in the city, and some fantastic beer gardens.
