Lincoln Cathedral Concerts 2024

I attended two Concerts by Candlelight by Kinda Dusty (The Beatles and Elton John). It is the perfect setting for this type of event and the revenue raised must help with the maintenance of this magnificent building. Both in the rain and sunshine, its presence is glorious.

Very steep walk from town to cathedral but discovered that there are free parking spaces around it if you can find out how to drive up there. One side is free for 1 hour and other side is 2 fee hours so plenty of time to park and go in. Entry is free up to the main entrance then you have to pay to get to all areas but I was able to take some nice pictures of the stain glass from the entrance without paying to go in. There is also a bus that takes you from bus station to the road that runs past the cathedral and everything else that you may want to see.

We visited for a quick walk around the cathedral. The building is vast with many different areas for different purposes. It's sympathetically lit, making the most of its features. While not being religious much of the symbolism is lost on me, the beauty and peace of the place is not. It is impossible to imagine someone conceiving of the finished article before the first stone was laid as there are so many intricate details to discover and each space within the cathedral has its own characteristics. Well worth a walk up the hill for a day spent in the cathedral and the surrounding ancient city.

Had a lovely few hours looking around the cathedral. Very much a stunning place to explore. The addition of the globe in the centre was really nice and the kids loved it. Great that entry includes annual passes if you do gift aid and kids are free. My youngest enjoyed the crafts as well and has some great art work to bring home.

Beautiful cathedral with magnificent stained glass windows. The guides were great and added to the experience. A very reasonable restaurant and shop as well. If you've got a head for heights there is a tower and roof tour.
