Crowds will meat for the city’s famous Lincolnshire Sausage Festival in and around the Lincoln Castle grounds next week.
Lincoln Castle and Castle Hill will be filled with stalls selling all types of produce, including an abundance of Lincolnshire sausages, between 10am and 5pm on Saturday, October 12.
Entry is priced at £1 for adults, and children can enter free with an accompanying adult. All funds raised will go towards the work of the Rotary Club of Lindum Colonia.
With over 40 food stall holders selling the best of the county’s produce from award wining Select Lincolnshire members, it is kind of a pig deal and definitely worth checking out.

Mascot Mr Sausage will be making a return and this year with Mrs Sausage too. There will also be cooking demonstrations during the day from local chef Rachel Green and Curtis of Lincoln will hold sausage making demonstrations.
Children’s entertainment and live music will also be on show including lively performances from The Cosmic Sausages and Juggling Jim.
The Children’s Marquee at the festival, sponsored by Redhill Farm Free Range Pork, will encourage families to have fun with circus skills and other activities.
The festival is organised by the Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia, in association with the Select Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire County Council and the Lincoln Business Improvement Group.

Proposals to close the Springcliffe Surgery in Lincoln’s St Catherines area have emerged, citing several compelling reasons including declining patient numbers, old infrastructure, and escalating operational costs.
Springcliffe Surgery, a branch of the larger Brant Road Surgery, currently serves a fraction of the combined 9,000 patients – providing only 20 weekly appointments compared to the main site’s 550.
