Halloween: The BIG Spook

Throughout the October Half-Term, Lincoln BIG are delighted to welcome new Halloween activities for all to get involved with, whilst also repeating some of the popular events from previous years.

RETURNING FOR 2024!

These events will bring a new life to the city centre during Halloween offering some light-hearted fun whilst driving footfall to the area and supporting local businesses.

With something around every corner in the City Centre, the Lincoln BIG team look forward to this spine-chilling holiday and hope everyone gets the chance to experience some seasonal fun!

Keep an eye out for some Halloween themed cut-out boards, located around the city…

Lincoln BIG are delighted to welcome a Pop-up Pumpkin Patch to the Waterside Shopping Centre!

The Pumpkin patch aims to allow families living in the city to access and enjoy an activity, most commonly found in rural areas. This seasonal activity offers local and visiting families the opportunity to pick a pumpkin to take home or carve on the spot, for free! The carving kits are provided.

Presented and produced by Walk the Plank

Following the success of previous years, Lincoln will once again see a Skeleton Parade through the city, this time around Uphill Lincoln.

Saturday 19th and 26th October, 18:00 – 19:00
