Ann Worrell, visitor experience officer at The Collection, said:

“We couldn’t be more excited for the Christmas Artisan Market to return to The Collection this year.

"This will be the largest event at The Collection since the start of the pandemic, and a great opportunity to find unique Christmas gifts whilst supporting local artists and makers.

“Visitors to the market can also take a look at our exhibition ‘Our Plastic Ocean’, on until Sunday 19 December.

"This striking collection of work by world-renowned photographer Mandy Barker sees her transform collected plastic debris into thought-provoking and captivating images.”

The Collection museum on Danes Terrace in Lincoln is open Thursday to Monday, 10am to 4pm.
