Organisers are confident that the 30th Boultham Park Summer Fair will take place in July despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and over half of the stall pitches have been filled.
The Boultham Park Advisory Group (BPAG) were appointed to take over the organising in 2019 and are currently preparing for this year’s event on July 10.
The free community event will run between 11am and 5pm. It includes vendors providing food and gifts for all ages, crafts, and entertainment such as fairground rides, as well as live music.

BPAG, in collaboration with the Arboretum Advisory Group, have also created a new event. The Arboretum Autumn Fair will take place for the first time on Saturday, September 18, 2021 and run between 11am and 5pm.
It will be similar to the Boultham Park event except instead of fairground rides there will be carriage rides from the Boulevard area at the top of the Arboretum.

Robert Pitchford, Chairman of BPAG, told The Lincolnite: “The team organising the Boultham Park Summer Fair on July 10 are delighted with the uptake of availability pitches.
“Due to the popularity of the Boultham Park Fair, we have helped to create a new event – The Arboretum Autumn fair.
“We have vendors from across the county bringing crafts and products to suite all ages along with entertainment and food to delight all tastes. Fingers crossed for some good weather.”

There have been 88 new coronavirus cases in Greater Lincolnshire and one COVID-related death on Monday as restrictions eased across the UK as part of the PM’s roadmap out of lockdown.
The government’s COVID-19 dashboard on April 12 recorded 58 new cases in Lincolnshire, 16 in North East Lincolnshire and 14 in North Lincolnshire.
On Monday, one death was recorded in Lincolnshire and none in Northern Lincolnshire. This figure includes deaths both in and out of hospitals, as well as residents in hospitals outside the county.
NHS England reported no changes to the hospital death figures across the region, which still stands at 1,300 from a week ago.
Nationally, cases increased by 3,568 to 4,373,343, while deaths rose by 13 to 127,100.
In local news, North Kesteven has the most over 50s vaccinated with the first dose of a COVID-19 jab in Lincolnshire, whereas Boston has the least.
However, South Kesteven has the most 18 to 49 year olds vaccinated in Greater Lincolnshire with Lincoln having the least, according to research by Sky News.
There were 398 coronavirus cases in Greater Lincolnshire and 10 COVID-related deaths last week — a 43% drop in cases and 23% fewer deaths compared to the previous week.
Hundreds of people queued outside Debenhams and at several barbers and salons in the city as Lincoln, and the rest of England, entered the next stage of the roadmap out of coronavirus lockdown on Monday, April 12. The pubs and bars had a good day too.
The latest rules allow for the retail sector to fully reopen its doors for customers again, two weeks after the previous lockdown easing on March 29 which resumed outdoor socialising for up to six people – see the list of rules here.
