Heartbreak as Beyond the Woods Festival cancelled again
Another blow for the ‘gutted’ organisers

COVID-19 uncertainties have lead to the cancellation of the highly anticipated Beyond the Woods Festival for the third year.
Organisers told music lovers, “with heavy hearts”, that the event in Horncastle would not be possible due to insurance doubts and undetermined government restrictions.
Beyond the Woods was lined up to take place on August 6-8 with thousands of attendees enjoying headliner Alfie Templeman among other celebrated artists like Baby Queen, Luz and Master Peace.
The festival was also continuing work with BBC Music Introducting and BBC Radio Lincolnshire to bring a mix of specially recorded and live performances by local artists.
Organisers posted a statement to attendees, assuring them tickets would remain valid for future events, and refunds would be available too.
They thanked all who had supported them during lockdown and promised to bring the event back in 2022.

In 2019, organisers were forced to cancel the event due to weather warnings. Then in 2020 the coronavirus pandemic put the breaks on the festival’s return.
The event started out in 2015 as JoeFest, an 18th birthday party for Festival Founder Joe Davies in a back garden in Lincoln, and turned into a big event in the surroundings of Stourton Woods near Horncastle where it has been held since 2017.

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.
