New venture encourages families to explore Lincolnshire
A new website launches this week, with the aim of encouraging Lincolnshire families to explore, visit and shop locally within the county.
Lincs Kids focuses on Lincolnshire’s activities, classes, retailers, food and drink, services, health/fitness providers and green spaces. Lincs Kids brings information together in one place with an events calendar, regular what’s on guides, social media pages and a blog with local parents contributing their reviews and views.
In addition, the Lincs Kids Family Card is free for county parents and carers to sign up for and already provides well over 50 discounts off local attractions, eateries and services – the number of participating business partners is growing and is now expected to expand rapidly. Card holders can also subscribe to a newsletter providing monthly updates on new offers and promotions.
Emma Crellin, a Lincoln based mum of two, who is launching this new venture, has previously owned and run the successful Lincoln Mums community for the last 5 years, and has used the first lockdown period this year to create this new brand and to expand the community county wide.
Emma says “Lincolnshire has so much on hand for local families. Now more than ever, people are shopping and visiting more locally. By launching Lincs Kids we have created a hub which allows people to see at a glance what is around for them to do and see, and to create some great value offers for local families. We will be there to support local businesses during this next lockdown time and afterwards as people get out and about again”.
We love family-friendly activities in Lincolnshire. Here are just a few recommendations:
Burghley House near Stamford offers more than just history – the Garden of Surprises is a hit with children, featuring hidden water fountains, a mirror maze, and playful sculptures.
Rushmoor Farm Park & Falconry Centre not far from Louth lets kids meet farm animals, watch bird of prey displays, and enjoy play areas.
Ostler’s Plantation by Woodhall Spa offers gentle woodland walks, great for spotting wildlife or building dens.
The Spa Trail, a traffic-free path linking Horncastle to Woodhall Spa, is perfect for a bike ride or nature walk. If the kids love animals, a trip to Rand Farm Park, just a short drive away, lets them meet friendly farm animals, ride tractors, and bounce on giant pillows.
