Celebrate the rich local history of our county as the Lincolnshire Libraries Local History Festival returns this May
The festival will travel across the county's vast rural landscapes, covering the Wolds and Coast, the Fens, the Kestevens and the Lincoln Cliff, as renowned local historians present their discoveries in your local Lincolnshire library.
With more than 50 events running throughout May, including talks, guided walks, exhibitions and family activities, you'll explore wartime Lincolnshire, discover community memories, and step back into the distant past.
Nicola Rogers, partnership manager at Lincolnshire Libraries, said:
“After the success of our first festival last year, we wanted to again mark Local and Community Month and celebrate our county’s rich heritage. We’re delighted to be able to invite so many well-known speakers and groups into our libraries to share their knowledge and research as well as highlighting the fascinating local studies collections held in our libraries.”
