History Of Lincoln
Just wanted you to get the link to this short video about Lincoln and The Strait with a history of the many buildings that line Steep Hill!
The Lancaster Bomber
Special VIP days at East Kirkby are usually held on a Wednesday and are a whole day experience. The day starts at 9.30am with a briefing from either your pilot or/and a crew member and the day's co-ordinator. There are two tail down taxy runs on our VIP days one at 11am and the other at 1.30pm and places are limited to 18/20 people enjoying a taxy ride per VIP day. The 20 riders in the VIP party are divided into two groups with 10 on the 11am run and 10 on the 1.30pm run. The benefit of there being two taxy runs is that you ride on one and watch the other at close quarters. The taxy ride is completely unique and very different to the experience from outside the aircraft.
There is a lunch prepared especially for our VIP guests at 12 Noon. You can eat alongside the pilot and Lancaster ground crew providing you with another opportunity to ask them any technical questions and time to talk Lancasters! The VIP option offers you much longer inside the aircraft, boarding approx half an hour before your taxy run for your look around the first half of the aircraft, we also give you plenty of time after the run for you to complete your tour of the other half. All guests have the opportunity to sit in/visit each position throughout the aircraft whilst the aircraft is static and have the tour of the cockpit with the chance to sit in the pilot's seat. Whilst you are looking around the aircraft we have crew members on board to answer any questions you may have. Morning coffee, afternoon tea and homemade cake are also included on these days.
Guest option
There is also the chance for the person enjoying the taxy ride to bring a guest who gets the whole day, including a look inside the Lancaster and tour of the cockpit, but not the taxy ride for £70.00. The VIP day is run in a far more leisurely manner, providing you with time to absorb the airfield's history and sounds. Again all guests go home with a certificate signed by the pilot who has done the taxy run that day.
Price- £285.00 Places MUST be pre-booked!

Gift vouchers for our Taxy Ride Experiences which are ideal for Birthdays and Christmas.

Steam Punk Festival Lincoln 2011
THE VERY LATEST PLANS FOR 2011
Weekend at the Asylum 2011 will have a slightly different flavour. It is being developed into more of a Fringe style festival with options for you to buy tickets to just those features you wish to attend.
Friday and as usual the Steampunks will begin to gather around the Victoria during the afternoon. Control will open at 4pm and you will be able to claim your wristbands.
Friday night will see "Friday Night at the Asylum". (400 tickets) This is envisaged as a party night with up to four new bands showcasing their acts for the delights of the steampunk community. The Major will once again be hosting his celebrated Soiree. Music hall enters the 21st century. (120 tickets). The Victoria will be having an open access mini beer festival this evening too.
Saturday morning the Asylum will open its doors at 10.00 with exhibitors, publishers and guests in the main hall and a full programme of features and panels in the Little Theatre and Drawing Room. The Castle Lounge will host the annual exhibition with entries for the covetted Verne, Brunel, Pugin, Rosetti and Ruskin awards. Also on Saturday the Bazaar Eclectica will be opening its doors in the Castle Prison.
Special guests for Saturday include the inimitable Wilf Lunn, creative genius and boater wearer extraordinaire. A Doctor Who theme for the Exhibition Hall will have a cracking photo op and a chance to meet the highly entertaining Fraser Hines. Of course the Asylum wouldn't be the Assylum without the entertaining presence of world reknowned author and raconteur Robert Rankin.
Saturday night and the Asylum is turned over to the Third Annual Empire Ball. (300 tickets) A change in style for 2011 with the first half for dancing to recorded music and a buffet meal. Guest acts and Sunday Driver will take the stage before more dancing until late.
Professor Elemental will be joining you all once again too. A change of style at our second venue on Saturday night with "Putting the Punk in Steampunk" (250 tickets) hosted by The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing plus support.
Sunday morning and the Asylum and Bazaar Eclectica open their doors for more trading, exhibiting, panels and workshops until the closing and awards ceremony at 4m.
Tickets are now on sale and selling incredibly quickly through our automated portal. There is a classic Asylum pass which grants access to the full day programme and exhibits, the Empire Ball and Friday Night at the Asylum. All features will also be available for purchase seperately too allowing you the opportunity to prearrange the festival you wish to attend.
Organisers are looking at possibly staging other fringe events and features during the course of the weekend. They are hoping to have a Siege of Peking dinner on Sunday night as well as a Dead Dog Party. Details will be posted as soon as they are fixed.
Keep an eye on the main web site!
Please note: We are not looking for street performance etc as part of this event. We would like to consider applications from static exhibits e.g. steam engines, organs, period vehicles etc.

Why stay in a Hotel in Lincoln
I still find it difficult to understand why families or groups of people choose to stay in a hotel in Lincoln when Lincoln Town Houses provide so much more accommodation at affordable rates!
For example, Spring Hill Town House! It is located on Hungate, just at the base of Michaelgate, close to Lincoln Cathedral & Lincoln Castle.
There are 4 large bedrooms, 2 with en-suite facilities. Guests can enjoy a large open plan kitchen diner with separate utility and cloakroom on the ground level.
There is a stunning living room on the top floor with plenty of room for 8 people to sit and enjoy each others company.
Just as Hotels in Lincoln provide quality bedding and towels, we do too. Including aromatherapy based toiletries.
We may not be a Bed and Breakfast, but we do provide all our guests with a Welcome Basket which provides fresh milk, bread, butter, coffee, jam, other beverages, sugar and of course a bottle of wine!!
It is common knowledge that Lincoln's City Hotels are limited with parking! All our properties offer free parking. Another bonus!
But most of all we offer great value with all our 4 Gold Star rated houses.
Spring Hill Town House is just £26.25 per person per night when 8 of you share for 3 nights!!
A weekend break for 8 people is just £32.50 per person per night.
If anyone would like to contact me to ask any questions, please do not hesitate!
My office number is 01522 530274 or mobile 07795477780
I hope to see you soon!!
Many thanks

Big Times ahead for saved Lincoln City Park
BIG TIMES AHEAD FOR SAVED CITY PARK
Organisers of a ‘Big Tidy Up’ and ‘Big Lunch’ event in Lincoln hope it will mark the start of a new lease of life for a City park which has recently been saved from development.
On Saturday 4th June, Wickham Gardens in Lincoln, will be just one of the venues taking part nationally in ’The Big Tidy Up’ organised by The Tidy Britain Campaign and ‘The Big Lunch’ which is an idea started by The Eden Project.
Event organiser Victoria Douch said, “The whole idea of the event is to make the area look nicer for families and give people a chance to get together with neighbours, members of the local community and have fun. We want Wickham Gardens to be a pleasant and safe place for families to come and to remind people what an asset it is to the uphill area of Lincoln. So, bring along a blanket and a picnic and enjoy this space which has provided a recreation area for the people of Lincoln for nearly 100 years.”
Wickham Gardens has been a play area for generations of children in the uphill area of Lincoln since the land was donated to the City by a former Dean of Lincoln Cathedral, the late Canon Wickham, in 1914. Last year the City of Lincoln Council proposed to sell the site for development, but protests from the local community resulted in the land being kept for recreation use.
SWINGS (Save Wickham Gardens, Infants Need Green Spaces) campaigned for the land to be retained as a play area, and the group are now working with the City of Lincoln Council to improve the site and raise funds to replace the play equipment which was removed, for Health and Safety reasons, by the Council in 2010.
To help with the ‘Big Tidy Up’ just turn up at Wickham Gardens on Saturday 4th June at 11am. All equipment will be provided. ‘The Big Lunch’ will start at 12noon and families are invited just to turn up and bring a picnic.

New Deli Bistro Opens at Burton Waters
New bistro sails into town
Great news for all you foodies out there! A new bistro championing locally sourced and produced food and drink is opening up on the site of the former Yots Bar and Bistro on Burton Waters.
The Deli Bistro, which specialises in Lincolnshire cheeses, quality meats and home-made cakes and pastries, opened its doors to the public for the first time today (Friday 1st April).
Run by Craig Gollin of Craig Gollin Catering Services and his wife Caroline the restaurant will also have a delicatessen selling local produce and freshly prepared food to take away.
Craig started training as a chef from the age of 17 and has over 13 years’ experience in the industry. Between 2003 and 2008 he worked as a head chef at The Lawn in Lincoln catering for corporate buffets through to banquets of up to 300 people.
Craig set up his own business in March 2008 and has established an allotment where he grows a lot of the produce he uses in his catering business.
Qualified nutritionist Caroline also brings a wealth of food-related experience and is currently working for the Food for Life Partnership as well as lecturing part-time at the University of Lincoln.
Caroline is keen to involve the students and the community in the new business and will be displaying and selling work by local artists as well as furniture maker and recent graduate Sebastian Cox.
Caroline explained: “We launched an art competition and invited students to design a piece of work based on the theme of local and seasonal produce. Everyone who came to our opening party was asked to vote for the piece they liked the best.
“The winner was Faith Wibberley (31) who is studying Illustration and coincidently will be working as a waitress in the bistro! Faith’s work will have exclusivity in the bistro for the next six weeks and we won’t charge her any commission on the pieces she sells.”
Caroline has also enlisted the help of Business Studies and Marketing students to help launch the new bistro and Craig is currently training three apprentices to become chefs. Altogether Craig and Caroline have created 12 new jobs across both their businesses which they’ll be running alongside each other.
The Deli Bistro will be open Monday to Wednesday 10am till 6pm, Thursday to Saturday 10am till 11pm and Sunday 11.30am till 4.30pm and will offer breakfast, lunch, afternoon teas and dinner.
The lunchtime, evening and dessert menus can be found online at www.craiggollincatering.co.uk along with details of how to book.
See you at The Deli Bistro very soon!
