This weekend alone, the city’s holiday accommodation is expected to have an occupancy of 90%.

The Lincoln Festival of Cycling, which commenced yesterday, will draw a lot of attention to the area. This includes the Lincoln Sportive on Saturday and the annual Grand Prix on the Sunday.

There are currently 678 accommodation options in the Lincolnshire area. The popularity of this weekend has meant only 115 of them are currently available.
