June in Sleaford & Surrounding Villages
June is the month where everything comes to life. With the longest days of the year and light stretching late into the evening, there’s a real sense of energy everywhere. And with that, local events are filling the calendar as we all make the most of the brighter days and warmer weather. June’s YLL shines a light on lots of these exciting things.
On the solstice weekend, Sleaford will be taken over with the very first Midsummer Festival. With no RiverLight taking place this year, there’ll still be lots happening across town with this new event from open air cinema screenings, live music, theatre in the market place, reenactments, dance, and activities. Make sure to head into town on Saturday 20th June and soak up the atmosphere of what promises to be a fantastic weekend for the town.
The following weekend, on the 27th, Sleaford travels back in time again for its much-loved 1940s Day, taking place at the William Alvey School. There’ll be live music and dancing, horse carriage rides, air raid shelter tours, re-enactments, demonstrations, vintage vehicle displays, and more.
And, of course, June means it’s time for The Lincolnshire Show, something we’re planning to visit again this year. This month we’re offering one lucky reader free tickets so they can join in on the excitement too, which includes a JLS star, Kelvin Fletcher from Fletcher’s Family Farm, show jumping, the RAF Falcons Display Team, motocross stunts and live music. Pick up the June edition for your chance to win this family e-ticket! There’s also a chance to win an Alpaca ‘Meet and Greet’ experience at JandJ Alpacas located between Grantham and Newark. Get your entries in via our Competitions page.
Elsewhere in the magazine we’re having a kickabout as the FIFA World Cup kicks off (something the guys will also be talking about in this month’s Strong Lincs Podcast episode), we’re taking an alternative look at Father’s Day as we consider the ‘fathers’ of Lincolnshire, and even though there are so many social events going on this month, we’re shining a light on loneliness for Loneliness Awareness Week to inspire conversation and awareness about this human need.
Read also about Lincoln County Hospital’s appeal for local crafters to knit blankets for patients, while we also continue collecting items for upcoming tombolas in support of the St Barnabas Hospice. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Soft toys can still be dropped off at our office until 9th July, before being used on a fundraising stall at the Heckington Show.
Remember, if you’re looking to shine a light on your business or event, or you need us to help raise awareness for your cause or charity, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s through advertising, editorial features, competitions, social media, or helping support local initiatives, we’re proud to celebrate the people, organisations and events that make our communities special. Here’s to a bright and busy June, and we hope you enjoy this month’s edition.
YOUR LOCAL LINCS TEAM
Cogglesford Watermill
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Your Local Lincs for a couple of years now, and it’s been an absolute delight! Visitors to the mill frequently mention they found us in the magazine.
Rich and the team are great to work with and often pop along to our events to support us and take photos. Their professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to support local events and businesses are commendable, and truly appreciated.
From start to finish, they’ve demonstrated an understanding of our needs and consistently support us, bringing a level of passion and enthusiasm that is infectious.
Working with Your Local Lincs has been an enjoyable experience and we look forward to continuing our partnership in the future. Highly recommended!
Sleaford Town Council
Sleaford Town Council have been advertising in Your Local Lincs for a number of years now and we find that it is a very effective way to promote our events and council news. We have a full page in the publication every other month and this enables us to distribute information about the council to a wide area.
We have a very good working relationship with the Your Local Lincs team and they go above and beyond every time!
They are also very supportive of all our events for the town including the Sleaford 1940s Day and the Sleaford Christmas Market.
We can’t recommend Your Local Lincs highly enough and would recommend advertising in the publication to everyone!

As our main show room is not on the high street this publication acts as our shop window to the public. We’ve advertised with Your Local Lincs since it first started and we have continued to find this the most successful form of advertising.

Advertising with Your Local Lincs pays for itself. People like to use a local tradesman and this is the best place to advertise in our area.
Charity in the Community
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 21 years of producing magazines. But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 22nd 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.
