Calling all Minecraft lovers! The perfect half-term treat for Minecraft-mad kids of all ages is coming to Lincoln next month.
From Friday 22 to Sunday 24 February The Collection in Lincoln will be hosting Minecraft activity days, including build battles and scavenger hunt tournaments.
Build battles give your child a chance to get creative and compete live on stage with other opponents as each player is asked to build an item from a chosen theme in a set amount of time.
The scavenger hunt tournament is where you search for items that are found in the game like flowers, trees, food and animals.

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
