It has been a week of jubilation and solidarity in Lincolnshire, our thriving community has come together, immersing itself in a smorgasbord of entertainment and cultural wonders. From triumphant musical recitals to exciting traditional happenings, from an uplifting sense of community to a fascinating display of our culture, in our cherished Lincoln, this week has been truly memorable.
The week started positively with our local band making a successful comeback to the stage after triumphing over formidable challenges. Their tenacity and resolve have indeed warmed our hearts and lifted our spirits. Similarly, a splendid array of giant puppets, live music and street theatre filled our streets as The Big Spook made its annual return, infusing Lincoln with a unique mix of spookiness and enjoyment.
Adding to this cultural diversity was the performance by the Army Benevolent Fund Band at our famous Lincoln Cathedral, reflecting the everlasting charm of our community’s shared musical tradition. At the same time, the Lincoln Sausage Festival returned to delight the taste buds, strengthening our bonds with our twin town and honouring the gastronomic pleasures Lincolnshire presents.
In a compelling mix of tradition and spectacle, the Haxey Hood game was granted global exposure with a TV feature, a considerable acknowledgement of our unique local customs. Worth mentioning also, the Lincoln Half Marathon 2025 demonstrated the spirit of sportsmanship, as our determined runners hit the pavement with grit and enthusiasm.
To crown it all, our esteemed Lincoln Castle will soon radiate with festive merriment as the Christmas lights event returns, pledging to disseminate warmth and happiness throughout the city. Additionally, a local couple will share the limelight with Strictly star Louis Smith in Lincoln’s Christmas Panto, adding a touch of celebrity glitz to our community talent.
In a essence, the past week has been a splendid depiction of Lincolnshire’s vibrant community spirit, diverse cultural legacy, and our shared resilience. Here’s to many more weeks of such vigour and vitality in our beloved Lincoln!
