Lincoln by the Sea will be free to enjoy, with some charges to children’s rides, until the end of the summer.

Families will be able to play in the sand, sit on fancy deck chairs and enjoy the fairground rides.

A Punch and Judy festival will take place on July 29 and 30 and more fun activities will also be on throughout the summer.

Lincoln by the Sea is funded and organised by Lincoln BIG.
