Football is about more than results – it's about the people, the places and the memories that keep us coming back.

As part of Reimagining Lincolnshire, we hosted More Than a Game, bringing Lincoln City supporters together to share the stories that make the club special. From first trips to Sincil Bank with family to friendships forged on the terraces, the evening celebrated what football means beyond the 90 minutes.

Thanks to Rob Bradley, Alan Long, Kate O'Reilly, and Andrew & Chris Vaughan for sharing their stories, and to Lincoln City Football Club, Lincoln City Foundation and The Red Imps Community Trust for partnering with us.

What if some of the features we admire most in Europe's great cathedrals were inspired by the Islamic world?

Join us at Lincoln Arts Centre on Thursday 23rd July for an evening with cultural historian Diana Darke.

Diana takes us on an illustrated journey from Syria and Egypt, across North Africa and into Spain and Sicily, uncovering the hidden influences that travelled into medieval Europe and helped shape Romanesque and Gothic architecture. She'll then turn to Lincoln Cathedral itself, revealing the remarkable Islamic influences woven into its fabric.

We'll also be uncovering stories from the Reimagining Lincolnshire archive, revealing hidden and unexpected connections between Islamic history and Lincolnshire's own rich heritage.

FlightPaths by brings overlooked stories to the surface, sharing experiences of the men and women who served with Bomber Command from across the world.

Over 125,000 aircrew served with Bomber Command, supported by countless ground crew responsible for training, maintenance and keeping aircraft serviceable. While this history is well documented, many of the personal stories behind it are still to be heard.

At Lincoln Festival of History on May 2–4, you can be among the first to experience this immersive audio-visual trail across the city.

Using the free Echoes Explorer app and your headphones, follow the trail across the city and hear direct testimony from those who experienced these events first hand.

Swipe through to see how it works, then come and find us at the info Stand in Cornhill Market during the festival, and we can help you get started!
