"It is another opportunity to take part in a summer celebration in West Lindsey and also offers a further opportunity for locals to reconnect with their childhood.”

Townscape Heritage activity co-ordinator, Theresa Workman, has been planning the day, which is taking place on Saturday, August 13, from 9am to 3pm.

She has arranged for costumed characters from our local heritage attractions and free activities on the side stands to take place. There will also be lots of information about visiting your local sites or volunteering opportunities.
