For those looking for a unique addition to their Christmas Market experience, look no further than the city’s Medieval fair!

Run by a cooperative of artisans and makers from the Travelling Historial Market, the event is a treasure trove of traditional gifts and unique objects to display proudly in your home.

Visitors can expect a bigger and better display this year, with sellers spread across two venues, St Mary le Wigford Church and St Mary’s Guildhall until Sunday, December 5.

The Medieval section of the Lincoln Christmas Market was forced to move from its former Bishops’ Palace location due to ongoing restoration works.

Following this, traders formed a cooperative to run the Medieval Market themselves.
