The community magazine for Sleaford and surrounding villages
October at Your Local Lincs
October is a month where the world seems to shift around us. The air turns crisp, mornings grow misty, nights creep in early, and nature begins its grand performance of colour. Trees blaze with reds and golds, scattering leaves like confetti. It’s a time that feels both reflective and festive, the calm before winter sets in.
The month brings us Lincolnshire Day right at the start and Halloween right at the end, and make sure you don’t forget the clock change on Sunday 26th! On the subject of change, you’ll soon be noticing one or two changes in our world beyond the magazine.
As you’ll see in October’s edition, we’re excited to announce our association with a brand new Lincolnshire podcast which has only just launched, Strong Lincs. This show, hosted by our very own Rich along with his good friend Dan, aims to shine an even bigger light on our county. September’s edition delved into the heart of this summer’s Heckington Show, while October’s edition features a seasonal theme with a chat with a local paranormal investigator. It’s fun, it’s local, and we hope you’ll listen in. You can catch it on the major podcast platforms with episodes appearing monthly… just like the magazine!
Back to the October magazine, and we’ve got a spooky season vibe going on this month, with Halloween decorations, explorations of witches, and a competition to win a copy of the debut album by local band Paradox of Ravens. With a name like that, you know they’re going to be pretty dark and gothic! That’s not the only competition this month, so make sure to pick up the magazine to see what else you could win. As we ever, we’ve got all the regular features this month that you look forward to.
With these shorter days creeping in as we hurtle towards winter, thoughts are now turning to Christmas. We always have one foot in the future in YLL Land, so if you’ve got anything planned for the festive period regarding your advertising campaign, whether it’s an event, your business, or your service, it’s best to get in touch with us NOW! Our pages fill up fast this time of year because our advertisers know that our magazine gets the word out there
Have a spooktacular month and we’ll see you next time.

Sleaford Town Council have been advertising with Your Local Lincs for approximately 8 years. We initially advertised to let people know about the rooms we had for hire at Sleaford Town Hall and this has progressed into us having a regular slot in the publication. We have a full news page every other month in Your Local Lincs and all our event posters are also published.
We definitely notice that residents of Sleaford and the surrounding villages are seeing what we publicise and we are also able to share the information on our social media pages using the magazine links on the Your Local Lincs website.
The publications each month are full of useful information and we would definitely recommend Your Local Lincs to anyone! The staff couldn’t be more helpful, friendly and communicative. What more could you wish for!
Every time I speak to customers they say they got my number from this magazine!

As your essential community magazine, our community is naturally at our heart, and what is at the heart of every community? Charity.
We've been reflecting on the various campaigns we've supported during our 20 years of producing magazines. There is much need in the world, so it should be no surprise that we have quite a list of charities that have featured on our pages over the years.
But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 21st year? Is there something out there going on in our community that you would like us to know about? Whether you're a veteran organisation or an individual starting something new, we'd love to hear from you. Would you like us to give your charity some exposure? We're on the lookout for new philanthropic endeavours in our community and would love to hear about the worthy things going on around us.
