This past week has illuminated the multiplicity of culture and heritage that makes up Lincolnshire. The beauty of our countryside and scenic coastal spots has come into gleaming focus, reaffirming why Lincolnshire is a county we hold dear.
Indeed, we’ve had a touch of starlight, as household names from popular television dramas such as The Crown and EastEnders paid a visit to our serene villages. The sight of our tranquil rural scenes being transformed into film sets was an extraordinary addition to the local events calendar. This lent a sense of Hollywood allure to an otherwise ordinary day in the country.
But it’s not just celebrities we’ve been playing host to. Lincolnshire’s robust agricultural heritage was melodiously celebrated during the Harvest Home. This event was a reverent nod to our farming traditions, a musical journey capturing the tunes that have been interwoven into our lives – in work, leisure, joy and sorrow – down the generations.
Anyone seeking a breath of sea air, found a delightful excursion on the ‘Seasiders’ open-top bus tour along the Skegness coast. The salty breeze, tang of the sea, and splendid coastal vistas remind us of Lincolnshire’s natural beauty that is never more than a short drive away.
The week capped off with a splash of colour and an outpouring of creativity, as the county came alive with art festivals and medieval jousting competitions. From striking art exhibitions to jousting contests echoing a bygone era, these events not only delivered amusement, but also helped cement bonds of fellowship within the community.
To sum it up, the week that was in Lincolnshire was an exhilarating mix of culture, tradition and entertainment. Such experiences definitely encapsulate the essence of our vibrant and closely-knit community.
