Family-Friendly events in Lincoln

Packed with things to see and do, Lincoln is one of the most family-friendly destinations in the UK. Not only will you find an abundance of attractions to explore, the city also boasts a fantastic schedule of family-friendly events. 

From the Big Spook to the Medieval Joust, our annual programme of events has something for all ages to enjoy. Whether you want to burn off some energy outdoors or spark their imagination with a museum trip, you will find plenty of experiences to enjoy together.

Throughout the year, Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral both host a packed programme of events. Brave knights will love the Medieval Joust, whilst creative thinkers will love the cathedral's fantastic art installations. If you've got a budding historian on your hands, events at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life and the Lincoln Museum offer an opportunity to get hands-on with history, and learn in a fun and engaging way.

In the city centre, there's even more fun to be had. During the school holidays, you can find activities taking place in both the Waterside Shopping Centre and the Cornhill Quarter, as well as pop-up events across the city. From dinosaur digs to theatrical parades, you will find family-friendly fun at every turn.
