The Lincoln Vegan Christmas Festival is returning this festive season on Sunday, December 2 from 10am – 4pm at the County Assembly Rooms in the Bailgate.
There will be a variety of stalls selling hot food (all vegan of course) and Christmas gift ideas. There will also be advice and information on how to go vegan.
Live music, performed by local artists, will also be playing throughout the day.
The Lincoln festival is just one in a number of vegan Christmas events happening across the country, as more people are making the choice to go vegan.
Two BBC shows that won’t be broadcast until Christmas will premiere in Lincoln on December 22 at the Waterside Shopping Centre.
Audiences will get the chance to enter a ticket ballot for a special screening of BBC One’s ‘The Midnight Gang’ or ‘Zog’ as well as a chance to walk the red carpet and pose with famous props from some popular BBC shows.
‘The Midnight Gang’ is an adaption of David Walliams best-selling children’s book and tells the story of a young boy who finds himself in hospital after a hit over the head with a cricket ball. During his stay he discovers a group of children who go on midnight adventures around the hospital.
‘Zog’ is an animated film based on the picture book about a young dragon who gets into mischief whilst completing his first four years at Dragon School.
Tickets are free and will be allocated at random, with 80% of tickets going to local postcodes and 20% to the rest of the UK.
Helen Thomas, Director of BBC England said: “These are two hugely popular children’s stories brought to life brilliantly by the BBC. I hope people will apply for free tickets so they can see them before anyone else.
“We want it to be a special experience for families ahead of a special time of year. Bringing content and exciting events directly to our audiences is part of our push to better serve communities across England.”
Registration for tickets will be open until midday on Monday, December 3, and you can only apply for a maximum of four tickets.
