 Lincolnshire County Council 

 Lincoln  -  cathedral city and county town of Lincolnshire  -  City of Lincoln Council 
Lincoln is the ideal place to enjoy some quality leisure time as well as offering a vibrant arts and cultural programme. Green havens like the Arboreturm – an award winning Victorian park right in the centre of our bustling city, the Lawn gardens and Sir Joseph Banks Tropical Conservatory – enjoying a prominent position in Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter and Hartsholme Country Park – acres of open green space where you can camp, enjoy the wildlife and lakes or just chill out are just some of the city's finest.
Alternatively, if the café culture is more your scene why not enjoy one of Lincoln's great selection of bars, cafes and restaurants. Watch the boats come and go on the Brayford Waterfront and when day turns to night, switch your attention to the dazzling city lights reflected in the water.

With a wealth of carefully selected stalls, selling everything from hand painted glass Christmas decorations to ironwork created on working forges, hand-made confectionery, jewellery, crafts and much more. It would be virtually impossible not to find gifts at Lincoln Christmas Market for the whole family.
Stall holders wear traditional Victorian costumes, and dress their stalls beautifully in an attempt to win the coveted Best Stall prize. There are almost 350 stalls, set in the grounds of the Castle and the Lawn, around the Cathedral, in Castle Hill and along Westgate. Take your time to wander around, absorb the atmosphere, hunt out some unique gifts for friends and family and treat yourself at one of the many speciality food and drink stalls. Looking for a hotel in Lincoln? See hotels in Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Christmas Market is based on an idea from Lincoln's German twin town Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, The Market is now the biggest in Europe, and after Lincoln Cathedral, is perhaps the attraction for which Lincoln is best known.
