Please support your local gallery!
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.

It may have a sign outside telling you this is the Archbishops Palace but often it won't. You enter down a long dim tunnel. This is actually the thickness of the wall around the Cathedral. Emerge into such a pretty place. In spring full of flowers and autumn conkers everwhere..then snow mmmm. You are on a highish bank with twisty paths ans stairs but this is the best place to view the Palace. Other ancient buildings are private ecclesiastic offices etc. When it is open (usually summer season) it costs a small amount to get in but you can climb in when shut, over foot high walls, and see a bit. It is obviously a medieval ruin. Climb the stairs to the Alnwick Tower (Alnwick was a Bishop) and go into the magnificent vaulted undercroft. The Palace also boasts the most northernly vineyard in Europe and produces it's own wine. Just a lovely place for atmosphere, history and ambiance. Sit on the steps from the wall and dream.
This is a typical old style theatre full of faded opulence…read more Tickets are reasonably priced and it is in the town centre, so easy to get public transport, and it finishes early enough for a meal or drink. 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.

Also a big craft centre and several flea market building. All housed in RAF buildings and hangers. There is a small aviation museum and planes too. Lots of greasy spoon eateries. Best on a Sunday when it has a huge car boot and market. I have bought Victorian pen and inks for approx £3 and sold them for £90. Lot's of books and well anything..furniture, clothes, plants. It is HUGE! Ghosts: My father and I looked around an old hanger with ex RAF furniture and equipment for sale. All the time we were in there a phone was ringing. It was annoying and my father declared he wished someone would answer it. Later he read that the hanger was haunted by a phone constantly ringing and that there was no phone in the building! Others: Two ghosts have been reported at this former World War Two airbase. A pilot who crash landed runs down the runway with his clothes on fire, while an engineer who lost his arm in machinery staggers around screaming. A ghostly rendition of the Missouri Waltz is also reported.

The market side has a good range of stalls from clothes and shoes, through to diy goods and confectionary. There are also flea market areas within the outbuildings which make a nice diversion whilst walking around.

I just love going to botanical gardens to look at what each city preserves or keeps in their garden, many will have other plants around the world. There is a water fountain that leads through the aisle to the green house. Weddings are held here and I can visualize the beauty of it. The green house is bigger than I thought it'll be when I was inside. There is also a bear pit, reminds me of The Gladiator. It is very beautiful and will have to come back one day again when it is warmer. Sheffield will always have a special place in my heart.

In a good way! It retains it's young, vibrant and exciting atmosphere, making you want to visit just for a drink. The 'pub', now called Cast, has changed dramatically in its' decor since the late sixites but still buzzes with conversation. Shame about the 'music' - FAR too loud. Oh dear; am I getting old?! As for 'That Play'; well it was OK. The weird sisters were portrayed in a very interesting way but I found the acting in general to be rather over the top. But then I'm not an expert! And I didn't want to leave! xx

It is one of the few Templar Sites, other than the odd church, with any remains above ground. This is a tower and you can see where the round church stood and that the farmhouse is made from the stone. The ruin consists of the intact square south tower, one of two added to the original structure during the Templars' tenure, north and south of the chancel. The car park is on the site of the round nave. The Templars financed their military campaigns through the income generated by their estates all over Europe, including several in Lincolnshire. It was founded in the period 1150 to 1160 and the order was dissolved in 1312. The tower has strange effects on people..some rush out. I love it and find it exhilarating. I climb the barrier and up the worn steps and sit at the top feeling wonderful yet shaky. A friend walked the land around with dowsing rods and (I am a sceptic) he handed them to me and they were going crazy..I could hardly hold them. In the tower the graffitti is very interesting ..British and American airmen from Bomber County etched their names and base/date. I wonder how many of them ever went back? It was a preceptory and training would have been done here but at Temple Bruer, the Templars were leaders in the sheep farming industry..knocks the myth a little?

RAF Coningsby, on the B1192 south of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. About half a mile from Coningsby…read morevillage, 13 miles north-east of Sleaford on the A153. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operates a Lancaster, five Spitfires, two Hurricanes, two Chipmunks, and a Dakota. In 1986, it became possible to view these historic aircraft, at their base at RAF Coningsby. In the years immediately following World War Two it became traditional for a Spitfire and Hurricane to lead the Victory Day flypast over London . From that event there grew the idea to form an historic collection of flyable aircraft, initially to commemorate the RAF's major battle honour. Since it began in 1957, the aircrew on the Flight have been drawn from volunteers who maintain the 12 historic aircraft both at Coningsby and out on the display circuit. Visitors are led on a guided tour around the BBMF hangar by knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer guides, who give freely of their time and who, in many cases, have first hand experience of the aircraft Entry to the exhibition centre, souvenir shop and car park is free; there is a small charge for guided tours of the hangar, with special rates for groups Well stocked shop offering an extensive range of aviation gifts. There is a permanent exhibition gallery exploring Lincolnshire's links with the RAF plus regular programme of temporary exhibitions. Open Monday to Friday 10.00am - 5.00pm Guided tours of the hangar from 10.30am - 3.30pm (3.00pm November - February) but of course in show season they cannot guarantee certain planes will be there. You will see them flying somewhere though. These are REAL planes folkand I love 'em!

It is absolutely essential that you allow a minimum of half a day to do this centre justice, better still a full day. Lots of personal stories with a large hangar dedicated to recovery of plane wreckage and the stories that go with them. We did the museum in winter, and while there were no special events and some of the site was under winter maintenance, including the two Lancaster Bombers on site it was still fantastic. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Only drawback is that it is not open on Sundays, but otherwise it's great. About 35 minutes from Lincoln, don't be scared of the distance, just do it. Has free parking, facilities and a great cafe/resturant. The £7 entrance fee is exceptional value for money.

Everything is gaming themed, with the downstairs having a range of different gaming stations to play on from the old to the new including the n64 and newer gaming platforms such as the switch and VR. The rooms look very well finished, even down to the toilet upstairs having controllers hanging from the ceiling. Limited drinking options and a little bit on the pricier side but for what you get, it's not bad at all. The staff are very friendly and overall very welcoming atmosphere, would go again with a party or group of friends.
