A fabulous and magical event in Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter!
Tens of thousands of people arrive over a 4 day period from the 2nd December - the 5th December 2010.
With hundreds of stalls selling food, crafts and items from all over the world, Lincoln's Christmas Market has grown year after year.
Our suggestion is to arrive on Thursday when it tends to be quieter!
The Market officially opens at 4pm. Sunday also tends to be a quieter time with bargins at the end of the day!!!
Parking is always an issue!
Best to park and ride if you are coming for the day. You will have to pay to park!
If you stay with Lincoln Town Houses, all our properties have free parking.
Castle View Cottage has a permit for parking and this is available on Carline Road.
Bailgate is our exclusive Roman Road which has fabulous boutique shops selling anything from Deli Food, Organic Meat, an Ice Cream Parlour, The Whisky Shop, Italian shoes, hand made jewellery, Wedding Gowns and designer clothes!
Steep Hill is exactly that! A cobbled street with numerous tea rooms, more designer shops, wine bars and plenty of designer Jewellery shops.
In Lincoln's Castle Square, the HUB of the Market! we have Lincoln Castle, Chapter House, Lincoln Cathedral & architecture like you have never seen before.
A photographers dream!!
Check out our web addresses for more information.
Enjoy! Alison

Steam Punk Festival
The festival is a combination of exhibitions, trade stalls, authors and artists, workshops, presentations and of course lots and lots of live original music. The main attraction however is the participants themselves. Up to 1000 well dressed and well mannered steampunks enjoying the delightful "Steampunk Quarter" of Lincoln.
Unlike many conventions and festivals The Asylum is what might be termed a "campus" event. They use several venues but all within a stones throw of each other in the historic quarter of Lincoln. This year's venues are Lincoln Castle, The Lawns, Charlotte House and The Victoria Inn.
The Asylum is organised and run by the Victorian Steampunk Society which is a not-for-profit organisation which exists to promote the Steampunk Community in the UK. People attending are granted associate membership of the VSS so the event is in effect a series of private functions but the colourful nature of Steampunk means we also make quite an impression on the City.
Worth popping over to Lincoln!
