Free Halloween trail of eight giant inflatable monsters that light up Lincoln's rooftops at night, from Castle Hill to the University of Lincoln.
Eight giant inflatable monsters are taking over Lincoln's rooftops from 26 October to 1 November, stretching from Castle Hill down to the University of Lincoln. By day they're just huge figures perched on the buildings, but when night falls they light up, turning the city centre into a glow-in-the-dark trail you can follow at any hour. The Halloween Trail runs through the heart of town, with the monsters marking the way from one end to the other.
Because they light up after dark, it's a different experience depending on when you go. During the day you can spot them from the street, but the real draw is after sunset when they glow, making the trail easy to follow even late into the night. The whole thing is dog-friendly, so you can bring your pup along for the walk, and it's linked to public transport, which makes it easy to get to without worrying about parking in the centre.
There's a bit more to see over the weekend, too, with extra special guests appearing on top of the eight monsters. If you're planning to go, that's probably the best time to catch the full spread.
