130 churches and chapels from across the Lincolnshire Wolds and Coast open their doors for two weekends this September.
Enjoy a beautiful blend of rich architectural heritage, tranquillity and spirituality, vibrant exhibitions and music, and the surrounding Lincolnshire countryside and coastline during the four-day festival.
The full programme will feature exciting activities suitable and welcoming to all, from flower and art displays to exhibitions and guided tours in each of the open churches during the festival. For those seeking a peaceful and spiritual experience during the festival, look out for the self-nominated 'quiet' churches on the festival brochure.
The full programme and downloadable brochure will be available in Summer 2023. To get a feel for the events and activities that take place during the festival, take a look at the 2022 brochure on the Lincolnshire Wolds and Coast Churches Festival website.
