West Lindsey's Churches Festival, Lincolnshire.
12th-13th & 19th-20th May 2018
Welcome once again to West Lindsey's Churches Festival. And what a
festival we have for 2018. One hundred Churches have come together to
celebrate their rich diversity. We have churches of all sizes and
denominations, some are simple churches serving small hamlets,
others are buildings of larger stature, serving our market towns. But all
share one thing in common – a warm welcome to everyone over the
festival weekends.
A record 100 churches open across West Lindsey & the Lincolnshire Wolds.
Free entry. Heritage, organ recitals, flower shows, lunches, bellringing, hills &
homemade cake. Made possible by 750 volunteers!
Please see books of when churches are open over the two weekends, or if
you are good on the internet see website : www.churchesfestival.info
The festival is also up and running in social media,
with Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages and an invitation to visitors
to share their experiences and photographs live during the festival
using the hashtag #ChurchesFest18.
