Lindum Fireworks

Lindum Fireworks is back at Lindum Sports Association on Sunday 8 November, the annual display that's become a bit of a fixture in the uphill part of the city. It's a family-friendly one, so if you're bringing kids, there's plenty to keep them busy before the main event: children's fairground rides, music, food stalls and a bar on site. The fireworks themselves are the headline, but the fairground side of things means it works as a full evening out rather than just a quick look at the sky.

It's worth knowing who's behind it, too. The display is put on by the Lindum Sports Association, a not-for-profit incorporated charity based in the uphill area. The grounds are home to three of the city's most popular sports clubs: Lindum Cricket Club, Lindum Hockey Club and Lindum Squash Club. The site sits in the shadow of the Cathedral, and the association's facilities, bar and grounds regularly host social events and services for members and the wider community, with the fireworks display and the club's beer festivals being two of the regulars.

If you're planning to go, the gates open at 4.30pm, so you've got a good window to get settled, grab some food and let the kids on the rides before the display starts. You'll find it at Lindum Sports Association, St Giles Avenue, Lincoln LN2 4PE.
