As the New Year commenced, there was no sign of idle relaxation or leftover mince pie consumption in Lincolnshire. Instead, the region donned its running trainers and swept away the dust from its paint palettes, in the spirit of challenge, creativity, and community that is characteristic of this vibrant area. From the icy seafront of Cleethorpes to the intimate surroundings of the Lincoln Gallery, the community truly set an enthusiastic and forward-thinking precedent for the upcoming year.
The New Year’s Day Challenge at Cleethorpes provided a shining display of this invigorated spirit. Locals flocked to the coastal town, casting aside their holiday inertia to partake in an exhilarating challenge that merged fitness with entertainment. The sight of our community welcoming 2026 with such commitment and fellowship was truly stirring, showcasing once again that Lincolnshire is more than just an area of scenic beauty – it’s a community fuelled by tenacity and unyielding enthusiasm.
The Lincoln Gallery also served as a hub for creativity, hosting a workshop where families congregated to craft, innovate, and establish connections. The event spotlighted the artistic abilities that lie within our region and cultivated a sense of collective creativity and unity. Observing families unite over the shared experience of creativity, embarking on the New Year with a sense of delight and kinship, was truly touching.
Meanwhile, on the international scene, Grimsby’s local tribute band, Coldplace, has been causing a stir. The group, devoted to emulating the enchantment of Coldplay’s music, has experienced a year as notable as that of their musical muses. Their accomplishments offer a reminder of the depth of talent that Lincolnshire encompasses.
As we venture deeper into 2026, we urge continued support, celebration, and involvement in the wealth of activities and talent our region boasts. Here’s to a year filled with fitness, artistic flair, and global rhythms – all in true Lincolnshire style!
