It’s been a fantastic week for Lincolnshire, filled with celebrations of our rich culture and heritage. Notable events have ranged from the much-loved Armed Forces Weekend in Cleethorpes, to the lively Grimsby Festival of the Sea, painting a portrait of our diverse heritage juxtaposed with modern entertainment.
Considered the biggest free event on the east coast, the Armed Forces weekend scored a win with its seamless Park and Ride services and a thrilling air demonstration by the Red Arrows. Kudos to the organisers for a spectacularly planned event.
The nautical festivities didn’t end there. At the Grimsby Festival of the Sea, locals celebrated our maritime legacy as the Alexandra Dock bustled with entertainment. The event served as a wonderful reminder of our seafaring roots and the dynamic community we’ve established on their basis.
In other news, Lincolnshire was given a national spotlight with local resident, Joanne Charlton, slated to appear on the popular game show ‘Blankety Blank’. We extend our best wishes to Joanne for her upcoming appearance alongside the stars this Saturday night.
On a corporate note, the ‘Mission Business’ event held in Grantham highlighted the value of recruiting former members of the military to Lincolnshire employers. The discussion outlined the beneficial transferrable skills that military veterans can contribute to the workplace.
For the artistically inclined, Lincoln Castle is scheduled to host an exhibition entitled ‘Playback: Art of the Album Sleeve’. This engaging display delves into the stories behind well-known album covers and is a must-see for any music or art enthusiast.
In summary, Lincolnshire’s past week was nothing short of extraordinary, offering a unique mix of cultural, historical, and adventurous activities, all hinged on shared community spirit. As we look forward to the Grimsby 10K race on 1 June, let’s take a moment to savour our county’s impressive diversity and vitality.
