Summer brings a different mood to Uphill Lincoln. The cobbles on Bailgate warm in the sun, the Cathedral bells seem to carry a little further into the evening and the city’s events calendar comes properly to life. So whether you’re planning a family day out or a romantic city break, here’s what to put in the diary this summer, along with where to stay while you enjoy it.
For families: memories worth making
For couples: evenings worth dressing up for
Your base for the summer: the White Hart Hotel
Whichever events bring you here, staying right in Uphill Lincoln, just a stone’s throw from the Cathedral, the Castle and the Bailgate, means less time travelling and more time enjoying the city.
- If you’re a family, you’ll appreciate the space of a Deluxe or Superior room, or the additional room of No. 7 Castle Hill for a true home away from home, with the Bailgate’s shops and cafés right on the doorstep between events.
- If you’re a couple in search of something more indulgent, a four poster suite such as the Brownlow or King Edward sets the tone beautifully. Follow it with cocktails at the Colonnade Cocktail Lounge, or a nightcap with a nod to local history at the Gibson Club Bar, named after Guy Gibson of Dambusters fame.
- However you spend your day, Antlers Restaurant is the place to end it. We serve seasonal, locally sourced Lincolnshire ingredients in one of the city’s most elegant dining rooms.
Plan your summer
Lincoln’s 1940s Weekend, the Lincoln Jazz Festival, The Zone, Salute to the 40s Weekend and the Asylum Steampunk Festival all land across July and August, and that makes this one of the best stretches of the year to base yourself in the historic heart of Lincoln. Book your stay at the White Hart Hotel and let the city’s events calendar do the rest.
