After visiting the Lincoln Christmas market I can say several things and please heed my warning well. 1. The market is a disgrace to Christmas and left a sour image in my mind of what is probably a beautiful historic town as nothing but a sis pit and tacky Christmas event. No doubt the market is being run by unorganised... more

We visited Lincoln Christmas market yesterday and it was the day from hell! We were so looking forward to seeing the stalls and soaking up the atmosphere but was very disappointed. There were just so many people you could not move to even get to the stalls,let alone get into the shops as there were people crammed everywhere! We came... more

My girlfriend and I were expecting something special when we went to the 2008 Lincoln Christmas Market but came away wondering what all the fuss about. The £10 park and ride fee left me feeling like I had been mugged, and it only got worse as it became clear that this was just one big rip-off operation. Once in the... more

Have just returned from my second visit to Lincoln Christmas Market and have enjoyed it just as much second time around. Last year we visited on the Saturday on a day trip, which was brilliant, but this year decided on a 2-day trip staying overnight at Peterborough on the Thursday then heading into Lincoln on the Friday. It must be... more

Having looked forward to the visit with positive reviews noted on this website, I was very disappointed. The city was massively over-crowded with visitors (literally acres of coaches parked on fields near the showground), a fun-fair seemed out of context, and the marshals kept herding the hordes of people round the one-way system too enthusiastically, so that you could not... more
