top 10 things to do on a weekend in Lincolnshire

The North Sea Observatory - there’s nothing quite like sitting on a comfy sofa, enjoying a hot chocolate and a slice of cake, while gazing out at the stormy winter sea.

In the City, there are tons of spots for an after-work drink, but two always stand out. Strait & Narrow offers an amazing selection of cocktails and spirits, making it great for date nights. Then there’s Beerheadz up in the Bailgate – ideal for craft ales and a laid-back vibe.

Simpsons Spa, nestled in the former grounds of Branston Hall, is the perfect spot to relax and disconnect. Why not spend a whole day there – enjoying a massage, soaking in the hot tub, and unwinding in the sauna, all topped off with a lunch platter and a glass of prosecco.

Lincolnshire has a host of impressive stately homes. Belvoir Castle is a particularly spectatcular example. Its gardens and art collections always have something new and exciting to explore.

Finding things to do with teenagers can be tricky, but there are some go-to spots that keep everyone happy. Arcade Warehouse is awesome if you love arcade and video games – perfect for groups and parties. Or, check out Carousel in the City Centre where you can buy tokens to play games like Air Hockey, Darts, and dance mats.

Whisby Nature Park is a fantastic spot for a walk year-round. Every route and season offers something new to discover. There’s something incredibly soothing about standing by the lakes with a hot thermos of soup, taking in the beautiful scenery.

The Usher Gallery is such a fantastic place to visit for free. They run a selection of exhibitions through out the year as well as displaying their permanent collections downstairs. You can now even get married at the venue, surrounded by artworks.

For a unique day out, Woodhall Spa is a must-visit. The Kinema in The Woods offers a charming, nostalgic movie experience. The town also boasts a delightful single street of shops, including the UK’s smallest shoe shop, and a fantastic variety of places to eat and drink.

If you love a good cocktail and a tasty meal head to Cosy Club or The Botanist in the newly refurbished Cornhill. Cosy Club is perfect for lunchtime tapas or brunch, while The Botanist serves the most delicious hanging kebabs that are great for sharing – if you’re in the mood to share!
