Home · Events in Lincoln This Week

This week in Lincoln, you can find fitness sessions and outdoor walks along the Foss Dyke or Spa Trail. Use the bus network or the railway line to reach venues across the city. Music fans can attend live acts and themed evenings at local bars. For something different, workshops and gatherings offer a chance to connect. The calendar includes skill-building events and social evenings. Consider pairing a creative workshop with a bar that hosts weekly themed nights. Add variety to your weekend or workweek by checking the listings below for times and venues. Plan your journey carefully , parking near the Cathedral is limited, and the steep gradient toward Castle Square can be tough. The River Witham is an alternative route, but High Bridge only allows smaller boats. If you're coming from further afield, the A46 or A15 may be easier. Check the listings below for times and venues.
