Cab company very close. They show plays, musicals, Shakespeare, have clairvoyance evenings and one nighters with people like Chubby Brown. Tickets are reasonable prices as befits the provinces. See a London show for less if you are in town. Warningdon't buy a seat in the Gods if you have vertigo :0)) For my ghost guide: Some people have reported feeling a gentle 'nudge' while no one else is nearby. Footsteps have been heard crossing the empty stage, and shadowy figures are glimpsed briefly before vanishing.

Absolutely lovely small fine arts gallery in Lincoln, adjacent to The Collection (an archaeological…read moredisplay of Lincolnshire). It is very typical of regional arts galleries in England, offering a mixed display of paintings, sculptures and arts & crafts objects. The picture collection is the most appealing part of it, offering a nice selection of mostly 19th century landscape and genre paintings, but there are also works by 20th century painters like L.S. Lowry. As you may expect, the "big" names in the history of painting are missing here, it's mostly devoted to artists and subjects of the area. The lighting in the rooms could be a bit brighter (no fear of damaging the paintings), and the explanatory tables next to the works a tad more illuminating. Clearly, the exhibition was designed quite a while ago. Entry is free of charge, and photography is allowed.

As a stall holder it became a victim of it's own success. From about 14 stalls to maybe to 3/400? It now issues a survival guide to visitors?? visitors - 160,000 - 180,000 opver the 3 1/2 days but I remember once over 450,000 when a ferry came from Holland plus all the British and German coaches. The Lincoln Christmas Market takes its inspiration from its German twin-town of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse. The biggest in Europe apparently. Lots of TV coverage. The stalls run from The Cathedral through Castle Sq. inside the castle, and around the streets with a one way system because of the crowd intensity. The lawn and The Assembly Rooms have craft areas and there is a food court. Gluewein is in everyone hand. It has a huge fair and has had ice rinks and circuses some years. International choirs and bell ringers etc and on Sunday night the Cathedral choir come out and sing carols round the Christmas tree. Friday and Sat can be uncomfortable..shuffling along and unable to get to stalls. Thurs evenings are locals and easier and Sunday day (not open late Sun) is easier. Evening is the best time for magic though. Floodlit Castle and Cathedral, people carrying lanterns, a lit up fair..lots of yummy food and GLUWEIN (do I keep mentioning the gluwein?) Stall have everything from German food and gifts to crafts and things to buy for Christmas presents..rare to see ordinary stuff of markets. Try it!

A short and sweet review. Amazing…read more It has not gone down the tacky road of a market selling tat and is a quality day out just looking around and getting involved. Try and get public transport though.

County Assembly Rooms (brings thoughts of Jane Austen to mind) was built in 1745 and is used for a…read morelot of different functions and also houses the local Freemasons lodge. I once walked though the main room when it was set up for the masons..looked like it was set for a black magic ceremony. I booked the whole ground floor for a couple of years to put the craft fare on at the Lincoln Christmas Market (they do it themselves now) and the rates were reasonable. Hirable for weddings and banquets. The food is good. One of the Christmases we slept on the floor with the chefs who had to be up really early and had a great breakfast. (Accomodation is next to impossible when the market is on). In the back room they have the most amazing Grinling Gibbons fireplace I have ever seen. Must be worth a fortune. 2 bars. They have crafts and antique shows on throughout the year. Anyway this is for my ghost guide: A phantom Cavalier was spotted by a member of staff near the ballroom, before vanishing into the preverbal thin air. Other staff members are reportedly too afraid to venture down into the basement after hearing strange noises. One waitress spoke of seeing a Cavalier man in the doorway to the ballroom and then he just vanished. One of the upstairs rooms becomes icily cold at night. One of the Dining Rooms also used to be a card room where a lot of murders occurred. I guess Cromwells men came to the city so Cavaliers may not be too obscure.
