A new and fun nine-hole urban crazy golf course opens in Lincoln on Wednesday (February 9) and The Lincolnite went for a sneak preview to try it out.
Urban Putters is set to open at Vulcan Park on George Street in Lincoln and joins its two sister companies in the same building – Axed Lincoln and Escape Lincoln.
Each hole at Urban Putters has its own unique theme full of surprises and photo opportunities, and they have quirky names, including ‘Dude, Where’s My Par’, ‘It’s Ball or Nothin’ and ‘Pump Up The Jam’, while a UV light one called ‘Eat, Sleep, Game, Repeat’ is a favourite among the staff.
All three companies at the site are owned by Ben Whitehand and Tom Owen, who work alongside brand manager Rosie Smith, and their latest venture has created five new jobs.

Brand manager Rosie Smith told The Lincolnite: “We think that Lincoln deserves to have the same cool and alternative things to do like the bigger cities. With the university growing, the regeneration of the Cornhill, and more independents opening, we want to be a big part of that.”
Assistant manager Charlotte Broadhurst said: “I am so excited for it to be open as we’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas — but not as much in Lincoln — tainted by the absence of the country’s oldest festive market, which was cancelled over safety concerns. Yes, this means that the 2023 Lincolnshire Christmas Market will not take place from Thursday.
With tens of thousands of people googling Christmas markets, it is unsurprising to see a flurry of stories in the nationals about City of Lincoln Council’s decision to cancel the 40-year-old event, which attracted more than 350,000 people in four days last year, and reportedly generated around £15 million for the local economy.
Seeing family, being cosy by the fire, and fun in the snow, contrasted with dark mornings and cold weather, are among the most loved — and hated — things about winter for people in Lincoln.
New research shows that 81% of people admitted they hate the winter season. According to a poll of 2,000 by the Post Office, dark mornings (49%), slipping on ice (44%), and having a cold face (41%), runny nose (38%), and paying the heating bills (34%) are considered the worst things about winter.
