Part of grand scheme to rejuvenate the area Lincoln
Lincoln Christmas Market celebrated its 40th anniversary with its busiest ever event, as over 300,000 people attended over four days last week, but whether or not it was a success this year appears to have divided opinion.
There have also been suggestions that the event needs to be held over more than four days, a long running suggestion that never materialised. “Some people on about prices of bratwurst etc. Believe me they are similar wherever you go. Great assortment of stalls too. Well done Lincoln, I will be back.” Lindsey Berry said the one-way system was “the worst it has ever been”. She said: “I understand the queue to get in was the result of the one to leave, but it was ridiculous.
Mr Cook also suggested making it a ticketed event in the future as “people may actually be able to browse”.Local resident Pete Crawshaw was also frustrated, saying he wasn’t enjoying it as he “can’t even park on my own street”. “My only advice is don’t go with dogs, babies in pushchairs, or wheelchairs, at peak times. Normally I would steer clear of the Saturday but we had a visitor who wanted to go.”Ian Penn said he went on Saturday evening “which probably wasn’t the best idea, as it was so busy and made it challenging to see anything”.
